Pepperoni Chicken - PCOS-Friendly Recipe
Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 2 whole Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 3 cups Good Marinara Sauce
- 1 package (3.5 Ounces) Pepperoni Slices
- 4 slices Mozzarella Cheese
- Fresh Parsley, Minced
- Salad Or Cooked Pasta, For Serving
Instructions
- Use a sharp knife to slice both chicken breasts in half through the middle, so that you wind up with four thinner chicken cutlets. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a heavy skillet over medium to medium-high heat and add the butter and olive oil. Cook the chicken until it has nice color on the outside and is cooked through, about 2 1/2 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a plate. Pour the marinara sauce into the pan and stir to heat through.
- Nestle the chicken cutlets in the sauce, the arrange pepperoni slices over the top of each one. Lay a mozzarella slice on top, then cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the cheese is melted. Sprinkle with parsley.
- Serve immediately with a side salad, or over pasta, with marinara spooned over the top.
- (Note: I only used 2 chicken cutlets for this photo, but the recipe calls for 4.)
