Ingredients
- 1 can (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes
- 1 jar (14 oz.) pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 - 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 3 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese, or more to taste
- 9-12 slices pepperoni
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a baking dish (I use a rectangle one slightly smaller than a 9x13) with nonstick cooking spray.
- Stir together pizza sauce and tomatoes in prepared pan.
- Place chicken on top of sauce and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Nestle chicken down into sauce.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until chicken registers to 165°F when checked with an instant read thermometer.
- Sprinkle with cheese and place pepperoni on top. Bake for 3-5 more minutes or until cheese is melted. Broil if desired to brown cheese and pepperoni.
- Serve immediately, sprinkled with fresh parsley or basil.
