Ingredients
- 4 Chicken Breasts
- 2 ounces Pepperoni
- 8 ounces Mozzarella Cheese
- ½ cup Pizza Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 2 tablespoons Italian Seasoning
- ¼ cup Olive Oil

Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400ºF. In a small bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons Italian Seasoning, 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder, 1 teaspoon Salt, and ¼ cup Olive Oil.
- Place the 4 Chicken Breasts on a cutting board and cover with a piece of plastic wrap. Use a mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken to an even thickness, about 3/4-inch thick.
- Place the chicken in a shallow baking dish or on a baking sheet, making sure it has at least an inch of space around it. Spread the oil and herb mixture over the surface of the chicken.
- Bake the chicken in the fully preheated 400ºF oven for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, remove the chicken from the oven. Spread ½ cup Pizza Sauce over the surface. Next top with ½ pound Shredded Mozzarella Cheese and 2 ounces Pepperoni.
- Return the chicken to the oven and bake for 5-7 minutes more, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165ºF. Remove from the oven and serve.
