How To Make Stuffed Chicken Breast
Topped with marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, more cheese, and more pepperoni. Baked to perfection, the chicken becomes tender, with a sweet tanginess from the marinara sauce and very cheesy. Serve it over pasta and with a light salad on the side! I know how hectic and busy life can get, I have moved a week ago and I relied on take-out for too long.
Once I unpacked my kitchen, I started making easy one pan meals again, and this Pizza Stuffed Chicken is a husband and kid approved meal.

Helpful Tips to make Cheesy Pizza Stuffed Chicken:
- I like to make the recipe with larger chicken breasts, as they are easier to butterfly and stuff.
- You can add less or more garlic, also, if you don’t have fresh garlic on hand, you can use 1 teaspoon of garlic powder per chicken breast.
- Always make sure your chicken is at room temperature, if you put cold chicken in the oven, it will become tough.
- You can use your favorite marinara sauce or pizza sauce in this recipe.
- Same when it comes to the cheese, I used mozzarella, but even white cheddar would work. If you want to go all fancy, use a mix of gruyere, romano and provolone cheese.
- The Italian seasoning is optional, but it will taste more like your favorite Italian pizza if you add it.
- The chicken is best served over pasta, but its delicious on its own as well.
What you will need to make Cheesy Pizza Stuffed Chicken:
- Italian Seasoning- Delicious in this recipe, and its a nice seasoning to have in your pantry.
- Baking Dish - a square baking dish works well for this recipe.
Enjoy!
