Yield:2 servings 

 

 

Ingredients: 

½ cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs 

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese 

1 teaspoon salt 

1 teaspoon ground black pepper 

½ cup all-purpose flour 

1 egg 

1 tablespoon lemon juice2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves 

½ cup pizza sauce, divided 

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided 

4 slices pepperoni, or to taste - divided 

 

Directions:

1-Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

2-Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl; place flour into a second bowl. Whisk egg and lemon juice together in a third bowl.

3-Dip each chicken breast in egg mixture and dredge in flour; dip again in egg mixture and dredge chicken in crumb mixture until coated. Place coated chicken breasts into a baking dish.

4-Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is heated through and crumbs are golden, about 20 minutes.

5-Spoon 2 tablespoons pizza sauce onto each chicken breast, sprinkle each with half the mozzarella cheese, and top each with half the pepperoni slices.

6-Bake until chicken is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear, about 10 more minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
