Ingredients
- 1/2 tsp minced garlic
- 16-20 slices of pepperoni, chopped
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1 1/2 c. of your favorite Marinara Sauce
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 pound chicken cutlets (I used chicken tenders--and I've used frozen and thawed, both work)
- Salt and Pepper for seasoning
- 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Preparation
Step 1
1. Preheat broiler to high.
2. Heat a saucepan over medium-high heat and coat the pan with cooking spray. Add garlic and pepperoni chunks; stirring frequently cook for 2 minutes or until garlic begins to brown.
3. Stir in oregano and stir for 30 seconds. Add marinara sauce and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in chopped basil. Set sauce aside.
4. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and coat with olive oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place chicken in the skillet and cook for about 5-10 minutes (depending on if you're using frozen or thawed) or until lightly browned turning chicken half-way through.
5. Spoon sauce over the chicken and sprinkle mozzarella cheese. Place in broiler until cheese melts. Remove and garnish with additional basil leaves (optional)
