Awhile ago, I made layered chicken cordon bleu casserole. Since the concept was pretty easy, I decided to take the same layering concept and apply it to this. Place chicken in pan and top with sauce, cheese, and pepperonis and bake in a hot oven until the chicken is done. That’s the same thing you would do with the chicken cordon bleu casserole, but top the chicken with ham, cheese, and the bread crumbs. This takes less than 5 minutes to prep people if you have all the ingredients out and ready to go.
You can use your favorite pizza toppings for this, it doesn’t just have to be pepperoni and cheese. I just happened to have some of those cute mini pepperoni slices over and topped the pizza with that. This pizza chicken is low carb also so you can eat as much pizza chicken as you like. If you like a less healthier recipe, try my Texas Toast Garlic Bread Pizza. Kind of the same concept.
