INGREDIENTS
2 chicken, butterflied and cut into two
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp italian seasonings
1 tbsp celtic sea salt
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup pasta sauce
1 cup mozzarella, I like using thick strings
1/4 cup parmesan
12 pepperoni
cilantro, optional

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Butterfly chicken breasts and cut into two.
Season each breast with salt and herbs.
Add olive oil to a heavy pan, let heat until shimmery.
Add chicken to pan in batches, brown each side well, about 4 minutes. Chicken will not be to 165 degrees internal temp - that is ok.
Add chicken to baking sheet, and top with sauce, more herbs, and cheese.
Place pepperonis on chicken.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and melted, and chicken has reached internal temp of 165 degrees.
Top with cilantro if desired.

    Its fairly calorific but I suppose if you can fit it in. I wouldnt call it a pizza though, its like a chicken bake thing.

    To even out the chicken, put it between plastic wrap and pound it. It looks yummy.

    That does look delicious. But really, isn't it really chicken parm with pepperoni on top?

    I was going to just call it cheesy pepperoni chicken. Your version sounds fancier :)

    I agree that it looks and sounds good. Based on simple volume of food and the calories this is something I would be willing to try making for dinner to last both my husband and I for 2 nights.

    That's chicken parmigiana, I can say that definitively as a NY Italian. Put that on a pile of spaghetti and you'll find it in every diner in the tri state area (although I guess the pasta would defeat the purpose for low carb :lol: )

    That would be a lot of calories for me, but it looks yummy and I'm glad you found it!

    Agree with above that it looks tasty and calorific, but I wouldn’t call it pizza...

    Also I know it’s optional but cilantro on pizza? Seems like an odd addition.
