At Delish, pizza isn't just our favorite lunch to order on a Friday—it's a food group. We try to make pizza a thing wherever we can: on slices of zucchini and baked potatoes, in stuffed peppers and fondue. Why? Because the cheesy, pepperoni-topped goodness is pure comfort.
When brainstorming ways to make chicken breasts less boring, I wondered how I had never thought to pizz-ify them before. Giving something a pizza twist means different things to different people. To me, it means adding tomato sauce, a bunch of mozzarella, and pepperoni (mini for the win!).
The sauce is really my go-to for all types of recipes. First you sauté a few chopped garlic cloves in olive oil and (bonus) the chicken drippings from searing it. This step is essential: You don't just want to dump the garlic into the tomatoes. Get it fragrant first and then add the tomatoes for the best flavor. Also, don't be shy about the amount of olive oil you use here; about 1/4 cup is ideal. I add crushed red pepper flakes because I always want a little fire, but you can skip if you prefer less heat.
