Chicken Pizza Bake
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce, divided
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 4 slices pepperoni, or to taste - divided
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to the highest temperature setting, which is 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2
In a separate container from the one you'll use to mix the egg, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Place flour in a separate container for coating purposes.
3
In a third bowl, whisk together the egg and lemon juice until well combined.
4
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, then coat in flour; dip again in the egg mixture and finally coat with the bread crumb mixture until fully covered.
5
Place the coated chicken breasts into a baking dish.
6
Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through and the crumbs are golden brown, taking approximately 20 minutes.
7
Spoon a generous amount of pizza sauce onto each chicken breast, followed by half the mozzarella cheese and half the pepperoni slices.
8
Bake until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices flow freely, adding an additional 10 minutes to the cooking time. Use a meat thermometer to check if the chicken has reached an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
