How To Reheat Pizza Chicken Bake

One of the things I love most about this chicken pizza bake is how easy it is to reheat – but it is best reheated in a toaster oven. 

To microwave, cover loosely with a damp paper towel and microwave in 30-second increments until desired temperature.

Keto Pizza Chicken Bake

Ingredients:

• 3 Large boneless skinless
  chicken breasts
• 2 tsp. Garlic powder
• 1 tsp. Basil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp. Olive oil
• 12 tbsp. Low carb Marinara
  sauce
• 1 c. Mozzarella cheese
• 24 Pepperoni slices

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 400
degrees.

Slice the three chicken
breasts in half lengthwise to create 6 pieces of chicken.

Sprinkle 2 teaspoon of garlic
powder evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.

Add ½ teaspoon of basil to
each side of the chicken breasts.

Apply salt and pepper to taste
to each side of the chicken.

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet has come to temperature, add the chicken breasts.

Sear them for 1-2 minutes on each side without moving, so that they get some good color.

Place the chicken breasts in a
single layer in a casserole dish or other baking pan with high sides.

Cover each piece of chicken breast with two tablespoons of a low carb marinara sauce.

You can substitute this with any other low carb pasta or pizza sauce of your choosing, just make sure that sugar is not in the ingredients.

Sprinkle 1 cup of mozzarella
cheese over top of the chicken breasts.

Top each chicken breast with
four slices of pepperoni.

Bake the chicken for 30-40 minutes or until the toppings have
browned, and the chicken is cooked through.
