Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Start by preparing four large squares of foil for the chicken packets. Place a chicken breast in the center of each foil square.

  3. Season each chicken breast with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. Spoon marinara sauce over each chicken breast, spreading it evenly to cover.

  5. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the marinara sauce on each chicken breast.

  6. Top the cheese with sliced pepperoni, black olives, diced bell peppers, and red onion, distributing them equally among the chicken breasts.

  7. Carefully bring together the edges of the foil to create sealed packets around each chicken breast, ensuring no openings for steam to escape.

  8. Place the foil packets on a baking sheet and transfer them to the preheated oven.

  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

  10. Once done, carefully open the foil packets (watch out for hot steam) and check that the chicken is fully cooked.

  11. Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a burst of flavor and aroma.

  12. Serve the Pizza Chicken Packets hot, straight from the foil, allowing everyone to enjoy their own personal pizza-inspired chicken creation.
