Chicken pizzaiola

From Ruth Mannion 

1 Trader Joe’s tomato basil marinara sauce


3-4 chicken breasts, cut into smaller pieces


Kraft grated Parmesan


Shredded mozzarella


Pepperoni


Preheat oven to 450. Pour sauce into 9x13 pan. "Bread" chicken with parmesan and place on sauce, filling the pan completely. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, increase temp to 475. Top chicken with mozarella and pepperoni, bake for additional 5 minutes or until chicken is done.


The original recipe had you make your own sauce, but I like the convenience of jarred. And while it is tempting to use good parmesan cheese, the grated stuff in the green can sticks so much better!


Oh, and I slice the pepperoni into smaller pieces, but I also like using the small pepperoni you can find at the grocery store sometimes.
