    Ultimate Stuffed Pizza Chicken is chicken breast stuffed with pepperoni and cheese, covered in sauce with more cheese and pepperoni! Make your own pizza chicken with all of your favorite pizza toppings!

    Ultimate Pizza Chicken
    This Ultimate Stuffed Pizza Chicken recipe started with my Chicken Parmigiana. We had extra pepperoni in the fridge from making pizzas so I threw it on top of the mozzarella and parmesan cheese on the chicken parm. It was a big hit and over the years it has evolved into the recipe you find below.
     
    Chicken breast with your favorite tomato based pasta sauce, your favorite cheese and pepperoni. I have also sautéed onions, mushrooms and peppers and stuffed them into the breasts as well. All pizza toppings work. Have some fun. You wont believe how great this chicken dish tastes until you give it a try!

    Ingredients for Ultimate Stuffed Pizza Chicken

    • chicken breasts
    • pepperoni
    • shredded mozzarella
    • pasta sauce

    How to make the Ultimate Pizza Chicken

    Place chicken breasts flat on your cutting board.
    With your knife angled downward toward the cutting board, cut a lengthwise slit in each chicken breast, creating a sort of pocket.
    Stuff each piece of chicken with at least 5 slices of pepperoni.
    Put the pepperoni slices on the bottom part of the pocket and mozzarella cheese on top.
    The idea is to position the chicken breast so the opening and the cheese are facing upward otherwise the cheese will likely melt away from the chicken.
    Bake chicken breasts for 25 minutes at 350°.
    Remove chicken from oven.
    Brush or spoon sauce to cover each breast, then top with cheese and lastly the pepperoni slices.
    Place back in the oven for 15 minutes.
    Next, leave the chicken in the oven and turn your oven up to broil. Broil for about 5 minutes or until the cheese and pepperoni start to turn brown.

        I usually serve this terrific chicken with whatever pasta I have around and a tomato sauce. Usually topped with a little parmesan cheese. We also will just serve it with a salad of some kind. Anything from mixed greens to a caesar salad. My son loves these stuffed chicken breasts on a toasted bun too. Honestly the possibilities are truly endless. Hope I have helped at least a little. Please let me know what you serve your chicken with. I would love to hear how it goes. These chicken breasts are delicious and definitely worth a try. Take care. All the best. Karin
