Pizza Chicken Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes (I used organic fire-roasted with basil) + 1 15 oz can
  • OR an equal amount homemade crushed tomatoes**
  • OR a combination of both (this is what I did)
  • 2 tblspns tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • salt & pepper
  • 3 large chicken breasts (my package was about 2 lbs), sliced in half widthwise all the way through, to end up with 6 thin chicken breasts
  • 2 tblspn olive oil
  • 1 8 oz package of mushrooms, thickly sliced (I used white button)
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and sliced
  • 25 slices turkey pepperoni
  • ½ cup lowfat shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup shredded romano cheese
  • **I make my homemade crushed tomatoes by taking 4 medium to large fresh tomatoes and removing the skins (make an X in the skin with a knife and put into boiling water for a minute or so, take out of water & let cool and skin peels right off), then I core them and cut into big chunks. I put a saucepan over low heat with some olive oil and add the appropriate seasonings and simmer the tomatoes over low for 30 minutes. Then I take them off the heat, let them cool for about 15 minutes, then put them in the food processor and pulse until they are the consistency of crushed tomatoes. For this pizza chicken recipe, I used garlic oil and cooked the tomatoes with 3 cloves of freshly roasted garlic and italian seasoning. When I make these for chili, I use hot chili oil and season the tomatoes with chili powder, granulated onion & cumin.
