For a richer flavor, use fresh oregano and basil in the tomato sauce. Feel free to add other vegetables to the sauce, such as bell peppers or onions. To prevent the chicken from drying out, you can add a splash of chicken broth to the baking dish before baking.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
02
StepPlace chicken breasts between 2 sheets of heavy plastic or waxed paper on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound with the smooth side of a meat mallet to a 1/2-inch thickness.
03
StepCombine bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt, salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl. Dip both sides of chicken in bread crumb mixture until evenly coated.
04
StepHeat 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook 2 chicken breasts until browned and no longer pink in the center, about 4 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining olive oil and chicken breasts. Arrange chicken breasts in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
05
StepCombine tomatoes, sugar, garlic salt, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper for sauce in a saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour sauce evenly over chicken breasts in the baking dish.
06
StepCover tomato sauce with pepperoni and mozzarella cheese.
07
StepBake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, 20 to 30 minutes.
