Low Carb Supreme Pizza Chicken Bake Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Sauce:

• Tomato Paste: Provides a concentrated tomato flavour and a thicker base for the sauce compared to watery tomato sauces.
• Olive Oil: A splash to help thin the tomato paste a bit and add richness.
• Spices: Salt, black pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and parsley, common in traditional pizza sauce and likely already in your pantry.

For the Pizza Chicken Bake:

• Chicken Breasts: The recipe calls for 4 chicken breast cutlets. You can either buy them as cutlets or butterfly-cut a whole chicken breast in half to form 2 cutlets (about 6-8 ounces each).
• Mozzarella Cheese: Shredded mozzarella is recommended for its convenience and melting properties.
• Toppings: Green bell pepper, sliced onion, black olives, and pepperoni. Feel free to add mushrooms and green olives if you like.

Method:

1. Preheat your oven to 400º F (204º C). Prepare your toppings by slicing them and having them ready.
2. Sauce Preparation: In a small bowl, combine the tomato paste, olive oil, and the spices (salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, parsley). Mix these ingredients until well combined.
3. Assemble: Place the chicken cutlets in a single layer in a 9×13 inch baking dish. Divide the sauce you’ve mixed among the four pieces of chicken, spreading it evenly over each piece. Then, sprinkle about 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over each sauced chicken breast.
4. Lastly, distribute the toppings (bell pepper, onion, olives, pepperoni, and any others you’re using) evenly across the chicken breasts.
5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through. Check for doneness either by using a meat thermometer (the internal temperature should reach 165º F or 74º C) or by ensuring the juices run clear when the thickest part of the breast is cut.
6. Serve: Allow the dish to rest for about 3 to 5 minutes after removing it from the oven before serving.

Tips & Tricks:

• Feel free to adapt the toppings according to your preferences. Adding vegetables like mushrooms, green olives, or even banana peppers can bring additional flavours and textures to your dish.
• Be mindful of the water content in the vegetables as they cook, as some may release moisture. However, as mentioned, this shouldn’t negatively impact the sauce or the overall dish.
