Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

02

Step
2 mins

Spread 1/2 of the crushed tomatoes over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, and stir to combine.

03

Step
1 mins

Lay chicken on top of tomatoes and season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.

04

Step
2 mins

Cover chicken with remaining crushed tomatoes then drizzle with vinegar. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning over everything, then cover with cheese.

05

Step
1 mins

Top with pepperoni, black olives, and peppers.

06

Step
20 mins

Bake until cheese is bubbling and melted and chicken has reached an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 20 minutes.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes before baking.
Feel free to customize the toppings with your favorite pizza ingredients, such as mushrooms, sausage, or different types of cheese.
Pounding the chicken to an even thickness ensures it cooks quickly and evenly.
