Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a shallow bowl combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, salt, and ground black pepper. In another bowl place the flour. Whisk together egg and lemon juice in a third bowl.

Dip each chicken breast first into the egg mixture, and then dredge in flour. Dip again into the egg mixture and then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture until coated. Place the coated chicken breasts into a baking dish. Place into the preheated oven and bake until the chicken for about 20 minutes until golden brown. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the pizza sauce over each chicken breast, sprinkle each with half the mozzarella cheese and top each with half of the pepperoni slices.

Continue to bake until the chicken is fully cooked (the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees F.).
