CHICKEN PARMESAN PIZZA / SO EASY / DELICIOUS

almond flour

🥗Healthier: coconut flour

💰Cheaper: ground flaxseed

Coconut flour is lower in carbs and adds a different flavor.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

sugar-free marinara sauce

🥗Healthier: homemade tomato sauce

💰Cheaper: canned tomatoes

Canned tomatoes can be seasoned to taste and are often cheaper.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: string cheese

String cheese is often less expensive and has similar melting properties.

Prepare seasonings: black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.

Mix the seasonings with panko and canned parmesan cheese in a bowl.

In another bowl, mix 1 egg and flour together.

Butterfly the chicken tenders (or use chicken breasts or thighs).

Heat olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat.

Dip each piece of chicken in the egg mixture, then into the panko, shaking off the excess.

Brown both sides of the chicken in the pan.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Remove the browned chicken from the pan and place it in a non-stick baking pan.

Add mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken.

Spread pizza sauce (or regular pasta sauce) over the mozzarella.

Add more mozzarella cheese and grated or sliced parmesan cheese on top.

Optionally, add olives, garlic, onion, or sausage; the creator chooses to add pepperonis and grape tomatoes.

Microwave the pepperonis on a paper towel for a few seconds, then pat them with more paper towel to remove excess oil.

Bake in the oven until the cheese melts and the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
