I found this recipe in Great Food Fast, my favorite pressure cooker book, but it's easily adaptable for baking in the oven too. It's warm and comfort-food-ish without being heavy, and is very kid-friendly as well! I mean, it's practically PIZZA. This is great served with some garlic bread or, I don't know, some vegetables? I seem to have skipped that part. Ahem. Anyway! Try this:
Help me out! What's your go-to side dish for spaghetti sauce based recipes?
Pizza chicken pasta
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 jar (24 ounces) spaghetti sauce
- 2 Tbsp. water
- 24 slices pepperoni
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- Corkscrew pasta
Instructions
- Whisk together the salt, pepper and flour, then toss the chicken breasts in the flour mix
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet or in a pressure cooker set to brown, then lightly brown chicken on each side
- Put chicken in pressure cooker dish or casserole dish and cover with spaghetti sauce, water, and pepperoni
- Cook in a pressure cooker on high pressure for 8 minutes, or bake at 350F in a casserole dish for 40-50 minutes depending on thickness of chicken breasts
- While chicken is cooking, cook pasta in well-salted water
- Serve chicken and sauce over pasta, sprinkling mozzarella over all of it
Notes
You can also transfer the chicken to a sheet pan, then top with mozzarella and cook under the broiler till melted and bubbling. This would be easy to do in a slow cooker as well! Just allow 4-6 hours for the chicken to cook
Hello?!?! That looks amazing!
