Directions

Prep 20 minCook 50 min
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F. Simmer the pizza sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until reduced to one cup, about 20 minutes. This step is crucial to avoid a watery dish.

  2. 2

    While the sauce reduces, trim and halve the chicken breasts. Place each piece in a plastic bag and pound with a meat mallet until thin. Mix oregano and garlic powder, then sprinkle over both sides of the chicken.

  3. 3

    Heat olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken pieces for 1-2 minutes on each side without cooking through.

  4. 4

    Arrange the browned chicken in a single layer in a small casserole dish. Slice the mozzarella and cover each chicken piece with cheese.

  5. 5

    Spread the reduced sauce over the chicken. Top with mozzarella slices and pepperoni, ensuring each piece is well covered.

  6. 6

    Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes until the cheese is melted and starting to brown, and the pepperoni is slightly crisped. Serve hot.
