Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts ~1lb, see notes
- homemade seasoned salt and pepper
- dried oregano
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
- 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 4 oz shredded mozzarella cheese or shredded pizza blend cheese
- Pizza toppings: pepperoni, sliced black olives, mushrooms, peppers, etc.
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken on both sides with homemade seasoned salt, pepper, and a pinch of dried oregano. Spray skillet with nonstick spray then place the chicken pieces inside and saute until golden brown on the bottom side (1-2 minutes for chicken cutlets, 3-4 minutes for chicken breasts). Flip then turn heat down to medium.
- On top of each piece of chicken ADD ~2 Tablespoons pizza sauce, ~1 Tablespoon parmesan cheese, ~1 oz shredded mozzarella cheese, and the pizza toppings of your choice. Place a lid on top to let the cheese melt then serve.
Notes
- To make chicken cutlets from chicken breasts: Use a sharp knife to slice large chicken breasts in half widthwise.
- If using chicken breasts instead of cutlets for larger portions: Place chicken breasts on a cutting board then cover with saran wrap and pound to an even thickness using a meat mallet. The thinner you pound them the faster they will cook.
