Sometimes, I just sit down and peruse recipes, cuz that’s how I roll…(I am such a food nerd!)  Anywhoo last night I made her recipe for “Pizza-fied” Chicken and it was scrumptious!!  Try it out and let me know what you think!

Pizza-fied Chicken 

6 Points Plus

1 Servings

Ingredients

5 oz uncooked boneless, skinless chicken breast, Pounded to about a quarter inch    

1/4 t garlic powder, or more to taste    

1/4 t onion powder, or more to taste    

1/8 t table salt, or more to taste    

1/8 t black pepper, or more to taste     

1/4 C green pepper, diced    

1/4 C mushroom, Sliced    

1/4 C raw onion (chopped)    

1/4 C canned crushed tomatoes    

1 Pc Light String Cheese    

4 slices Turkey Pepperoni, chopped    

1 tsp reduced fat parmesan cheese    

Instructions

Season chicken with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

Bring two skillets sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat on the stove. In one skillet, cook bell pepper, mushrooms, and onion until softened, 4 - 6 minutes. In the other skillet, cook chicken until cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. (Alternatively, use one skillet and cook the veggies and chicken consecutively.)

Place crushed tomatoes in a small bowl and season to taste with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Evenly spoon seasoned tomatoes onto chicken in skillet. Tear string cheese into pieces and place over the tomatoes.

Top chicken with veggies and turkey pepperoni. Cover and continue to cook until cheese softens, 1 - 2 minutes.

Plate your pizza-fied chicken and sprinkle with grated topping. Garnish with crushed red pepper and oregano, if you like. Enjoy!

I thawed a package of 5 chicken breasts and did them all, so I have lunch for work!  My 8 year old is not a fan of onions and green peppers, so I just left those off one of the pieces and she was happy!
