And lastly, I appreciate how the low carb twist means I can enjoy all my favorite pizza tastes without derailing my healthy eating goals.

Here’s how I usually make it:

Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease your baking dish a little. Lay your 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the dish, then drizzle them with olive oil and season them up with salt, pepper, garlic powder, dried oregano and dried basil. Next, spoon a cup of low carb marinara or pizza sauce evenly over each piece of chicken. Now sprinkle a cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and half a cup of grated Parmesan cheese on top. After that, toss 20-25 slices of low carb pepperoni (cut into pieces) over the cheese.

Then, add the veggies – half a cup each of sliced green bell pepper, red bell pepper, black olives, diced red onion and sliced mushrooms – making sure that they spread out well so every bite has a bit of everything. Pop the dish in the oven and bake it for about 25 to 30 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and the cheese is bubbly. Once its out, let it cool for a few minutes so you dont burn yourself. Enjoy your yummy Supreme Pizza Chicken Bake while its still warm and feel free to add a side salad or extra sauce if you’re in the mood!

FAQ

Supreme Pizza Chicken Bake Recipe Low Carb Substitutions and Variations

• If you don’t have chicken breasts, you can try using chicken thighs or even turkey cutlets. They’ll add a bit more flavor though you’ll need to keep an eye on the cook time.
• Not into olive oil? Avocado oil works great and has a high smoke point too, making it a good swap for this bake.
• Couldn’t find garlic powder, oregano, and basil? You can just mix them into a good Italian herb blend, it’s a simple and tasty alternative.
• If low carb marinara sauce isn’t available, a regular marinara (look for the low-sugar ones if you can) will do the trick just fine.
• Don’t have low carb pepperoni? Regular pepperoni is a good substitute, or you might toss in a couple of sausage slices for a fun twist.

Pro Tips

1. Try searing the chicken in a hot pan for a couple minutes on each side before baking, it’ll help lock in the juiciness and give it a nice flavor boost.
2. Make sure you spread the veggies and pepperoni really even, cause if they’re clumped up some bites might end up too bland while others get overloaded with topping.
3. Check the chicken with a meat thermometer, its best if you get it to about 165°F so you’re sure its fully cooked, but don’t overdo it or the meat can turn tough.
4. If you feel adventurous, drizzle a bit of extra olive oil over the top halfway through baking, it helps crisp up the cheese and adds an extra kick of flavor.
