Get your pizza fix rolled into a cheesy chicken breast that’s baked in a seasoned crust for a crispy, tasty entrée that you’ll want to make over and over again. It’s a family favorite!
Ingredients
CHICKEN Boneless chicken breasts are our first choice but you can use thighs or bone in chicken breasts too. If your chicken is bone in simply use a small knife to cut a pocket in the side and fill it up. Bone in chicken will need about 10 minutes longer to cook. CHEESE We love using string cheese in this recipe as they are the right size and melt nicely. You can also cut your own cheese sticks. I don’t recommend shredded cheese and it tends to melt too much. BREADCRUMB CRUST Roll them up, cover in breadcrumbs and then bake to juicy perfection!
Variations
Add other pizza toppings you love from mushrooms to green peppers and onions. If adding veggies, they should be pre-cooked and cooled. Just pop them in the microwave with a little bit of water for a minute or so. For a low-carb version, use crushed pork rinds (or parmesan cheese) instead of Panko.
How to Make Pizza Stuffed Chicken
The steps for this recipe are similar to making chicken cordon bleu (which is actually really easy to make) but it is topped with sauce and cheese like a chicken parmesan while having the flavors of our favorite pizza recipe! Be sure to seal the sides of the chicken well to keep the cheese in. Some of the cheese might leak out but there will still be lots left inside.
Tips
Choose pieces of chicken that are the same size and flatten them to all equal widths so they bake at the same rate. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Rest for about 5 minutes before serving so the juices have a chance to get sealed inside. For an extra crispy cheesy topping place the dish under the broiler for a couple of minutes until the topping is bubbly and golden brown.
