    Chicken Pan Pizza Recipe is a tasty, low carb, gluten-free entree perfect for a family meal.

    This chicken pan pizza recipe requires a little extra step than my usual simple recipes.  The extra steps are relatively easy, so don't let that scare you. 

    How to Make Chicken Pan Pizza Recipe

    instructions for making chicken pan pizza

    You will need to butterfly the chicken breast and then pound them to tenderize them. Then you will pan fry them a minute on each side. The frying helps seal in the juices when you bake them. Otherwise, the chicken dish will become watery and yucky, so DON'T SKIP THIS STEP!

    I topped the chicken with pizza sauce, cheese, and pepperoni to keep it family friendly. However, if you don't have picky eaters in the house, you can get creative with the toppings. It would be great to add mushrooms, onions, and bell peppers. Or if you like ham and pineapple pizza, why not add ham and pineapple? My husband loves Meat Eater Pizzas. It sounds a little weird, but I am sure it would be pretty darn good with sausage, hamburger, bacon, and pepperoni... So have fun with it.

    If you are like this chicken pan pizza recipe and you are looking for a real low carb pizza crust recipe, check out my Low Carb Spinach Pizza Crust Recipe. I LOVE THIS RECIPE. It is much tastier and easier than the "Cauliflower Version" that is popular.

    I have made this chicken pan pizza recipe for my friends and family and they have loved it. I make several crusts at one time, then put out a bunch of toppings. Then we make individual personalized pizzas. It is so much fun and no one cares that it is low carb.

    Ingredients

    • 3 to 4 large chicken breasts ( 6oz to 8oz a a breast)
    • 14 oz jar of pizza sauce
    • 1 teaspoon oregano

    Instructions

    • Pound chicken breasts.
    • Mix salt, pepper, and oregano together.
    • Sprinkle each breast with seasoning.
    • Heat oil in a nonstick pan.
    • Cook chicken breasts on each side for one minute, just enough to brown the outsides to lock in their juice.
    • Lay chicken breasts in a 9x13in baking dish.
    • Spread all of the sauce on each of the chicken breasts.
    • Cover the breasts in mozzarella and then pepperoni.
    • Bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
    • Rest for 5 minutes then serve.
