Description

Juicy chicken breasts topped pizza-style with tomato passata, oregano, bubbling mozzarella, cherry tomatoes and optional pepperoni. A fun, family-friendly dinner that’s ready in around 35 minutes.

Ingredients
    For the pizza chicken
  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 200 ml passata
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 125 g mozzarella (drained and torn or grated)
  • 50 g pepperoni (sliced, optional)
  • cherry tomatoes (halved)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Prepare the chickenPreheat the oven to 200°C. Place the chicken breasts between sheets of baking paper and flatten them slightly so they cook evenly. Season on both sides.
  2. 2
    Brown the chickenHeat a frying pan over a medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 3–4 minutes on each side until lightly golden.
  3. 3
    Add the pizza toppingsTransfer the chicken to a baking dish. Spoon over the passata, sprinkle with oregano and top with mozzarella, pepperoni if using, and halved cherry tomatoes.
  4. 4
    BakeBake for 12–15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the mozzarella is melted and bubbling.

    ServeServe hot with potato wedges or a crisp green salad.
Note

Flattening the chicken breasts to a similar thickness helps them cook evenly. The pepperoni is optional, so it can easily be left off for a lighter version.
