Pizza Fied Chicken Recipes

PIZZA CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl; place flour into a second bowl. Whisk egg and lemon juice together in a third bowl.
• Dip each chicken breast in egg mixture and dredge in flour; dip again in egg mixture and dredge chicken in crumb mixture until coated. Place coated chicken breasts into a baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is heated through and crumbs are golden, about 20 minutes.
• Spoon 2 tablespoons pizza sauce onto each chicken breast, sprinkle each with half the mozzarella cheese, and top each with half the pepperoni slices.
• Bake until chicken is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear, about 10 more minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).

FRIED CHICKEN PIZZA

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the bottom third of the oven and preheat to 475 degrees F. Drizzle a baking sheet with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.
• Mix together the chipotle mayo, honey and lime zest and juice in a bowl. Add the slaw mix to a medium bowl, top with two-thirds of the dressing and toss; season with salt and pepper. Cover the slaw and remaining dressing and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Pull or roll the risen bread dough into a large rectangle and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil over the dough. Spread with the BBQ sauce and top with the mozzarella. Arrange the chicken strips over the sauce and cheese. Bake on the bottom oven rack until the crust is golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
