How to Make Chicken Pan Pizza Recipe

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.
