To make Chicken Pizzaiola, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Lightly grease a rectangular baking dish.
Sprinkle each side of the chicken with salt and pepper.
Place a large skillet over a medium heat and add the oil. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until completely browned.
Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and place in the baking dish, covering the dish tightly with a sheet of aluminum foil.
To the same skillet, add the peppers and potatoes, along with the onion powder, crushed red pepper and oregano. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring regularly, until the vegetables have softened.
Add the chicken broth, tomatoes, and tomato paste. Stir and then bring everything to a boil.
Take the pan off the heat and pour the contents over the chicken, before resealing the foil.
Bake the chicken for around 30 minutes until cooked through. The temperature at the center of the chicken should read a minimum of 165°F.
Serve this yummy Chicken Pizzaiola with the sauce spooned over the top. It works great on its own or you can also serve with some rice or veggies. What do you think of my pizza-style recipe? Let me know in the comments below!
