Ingredients

  • ½ cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
  • ½ cup pizza sauce, divided
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 4 slices pepperoni, or to taste – divided

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2
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.

Step 3
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.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is heated through and crumbs are golden, about 20 minutes.

Step 5
Spoon 2 tablespoons pizza sauce onto each chicken breast, sprinkle each with half the mozzarella cheese, and top each with half the pepperoni slices.

Step 6
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).
