Pizza Chicken

I found this recipe on Tasty Kitchen. I have made a few small substitutions. This was even better the next day when I took it with me to work for lunch. Make sure to make an extra couple of chicken breasts solely for leftovers! I also fully prepared this dish the day before and baked the next day.

• 4 whole boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 (28 ounces) can diced tomatoes
• 4 ounces Neufchatel cheese (light cream cheese)
• 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
• 2/3 cup pizza/spaghetti sauce
• 15 slices pepperoni
• salt and pepper to taste
• Parmesan cheese to taste

Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper and place in a 9x13 greased baking dish. Drizzle some olive oil in the bottom of a large skillet. Saute onion until tender but not brown. Add garlic and diced tomato. Simmer for about 10 minutes (until your tomatoes are cooked down how you like, I like mine cooked down quite a bit). Sprinkle in salt and pepper to taste. Stir in cream cheese. Pour cream cheese/tomato mixture over chicken. Spread pizza/spaghetti sauce over chicken as well. Top with cheese and add the pepperoni. Bake covered at 350 for about 35-40 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving.


I served this over pasta. I had a green salad on the side. Don't forget to make enough for leftovers as this was so good the next day!
