This recipe for pizza chicken is very similar to chicken parmesan but it is topped with pizza sauce instead of the marinara and also topped off with sliced pepperoni. The combination of chicken, pizza sauce, cheese, and pepperoni is delicious. You can use your favorite brand of pizza sauce for this recipe or even make your own. The most work that is involved is breading the chicken. The chicken is baked in the oven but you can fry it in about ½ inch of oil in a large skillet first and then bake it if you would prefer. I like to serve this recipe with spaghetti tossed with extra pizza sauce and pepperoni. Enjoy.
