Pizza Chicken

Just a little something I came up with tonight because I was tired of the same old chicken dishes.

3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp oregano
2 tsp basil
1 tsp black pepper
2 T butter
Approx 15 slices of pepperoni
26 ounce jar of spaghetti sauce
4 slices Provolone cheese
1/2 box rotini - cooked & drained


In a bowl, combine flour & spices. Set aside.

In another bowl, beat eggs.

Preheat oven to 425.

In a cast iron skillet, melt butter. Dredge chicken in eggs & then flour mixture. When skillet is hot, add the chicken. Brown on both sides. Divide pepperoni between chicken breasts. Spread 2 spoonfuls of spaghetti sauce on each piece of chicken. Place in oven for 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.

Remove from oven & cover the chicken with cheese. Place skillet back in oven until cheese melts.

Mix remaining spaghetti sauce with pasta & heat through.

Serve chicken on top of the pasta.
