Easy Chicken Pizza Bake Recipe
I’m back with another one of my favorite recipes…. Easy chicken bakes! Even though my kids eat ALL of the chicken bakes I make (and even ask for them!) this one I created especially for them, and they really loved it! The easy pizza chicken bake is all the goodness of pizza but in a super quick and easy to throw together dinner. And as an added bonus it is even healthier than eating pizza.
The best part is, of course, this recipe is as simple as ever! Lay your trimmed chicken breast down in a baking dish. My absolute favorite is this pyrex dish. It is a little smaller than their normal 9×13 so it fits 3 chicken breasts absolutely perfectly!!! Then layer on the sauce, cheese and pepperoni. Bake at 350˚F for 30-40 minutes or until the chicken is baked through. Time varies depending on the thickness of your chicken breast.
This absolutely is NOT rocket science. It is all about your personal preference. If you like a lot of sauce, add a bit more sauce. If you love it cheesy, pile on the cheese. If you hate pepperoni but love mushrooms and green pepper than just switch it up. Dress it up any way YOU like YOUR pizza! This is also a fantastic recipe to let little kids help with, or to take older kids to make by themselves, as skills permit.

An alternative way is to cut up half of a pepperoni stick (bite size) (I like Bridgeford brand) 1-2 chicken breasts (cut bite size), I cook the 2 together and add garlic powder, italian seasoning and oregano. Then add in my favorite jar sauce (Newman’s Own Sockarooni). I mix it all together with a package of wide egg noodles, place in a baking dish, cover with shredded mozzarella and bake about 10-15 min.
