pepperoni chicken
(1 rating)
I wanted pizza, but I had already thawed the chicken. So I thought, why not make my taste buds happy & make the chicken taste like pizza! It worked for me! Hubby said I can make it anytime! ***I forgot to take a picture, but I will next time I make it.***

How To Make pepperoni chicken
-
1BRINE Combine first 6 ingredients in a freezer bag. Add chicken, squeeze out excess air, place in a container in the fridge. ( I prepped this before work, so it sat for about 10 hours.)
-
2Drain chicken from brine. Pat dry with paper towels to remove excess liquid.
-
3Cover bottom of a large skillet with the pepperoni slices, & cook on medium high heat until they start crisping on the edges & release some grease.( Do not drain grease.)
-
4Push pepperoni to the outside edges of the skillet.
-
5Add chicken, & brown on both sides until desired color. Reduce heat to medium low.
-
6Pour desired amount of marinara over the chicken & pepperoni. Cover.
-
7Simmer for 15-20 minutes, add cheese, replace cover to melt the cheese.
-
8Serve with pasta of choice, salad, & garlic bread.( I cooked spaghetti & tossed with the marinara & pepperoni to coat, then topped with chicken .) Enjoy!
