The first boss I ever worked for is a family friend, and he is a dang good cook.
One of my favorite go-to easy weeknight recipes comes from dear Frank. It's simple to put together, inexpensive, and a total guy-pleaser. And because you can make it as healthy as you wish, it's a winner in my book!
(We splurged by adding pepperoni ... worth it, duh)
Frank's Pizza Chicken
Ingredients
3 chicken breasts or 6 chicken tenderloins
Pizza sauce or a can of tomato sauce
Olive oil
Parmesan cheese
Desired pizza toppings (pepperoni, onions, green peppers, black olives, turkey sausage, etc)
Dried oregano
Edit: A few people have asked about whether to use raw or cooked chicken -- you do use raw chicken. I work from bags of frozen tenderloins that I thaw overnight the evening before.
Season your chicken with salt and pepper. Place in a 9x13 glass or ceramic dish that has been coated with a very thin later of olive oil.
Top chicken with pizza sauce or tomato sauce (I also sprinkled a little garlic powder on at this point). Add on your desired pizza toppings. Sprinkle with oregano. Top with cheese and cover with foil. Bake at 350* for approximately 25-30 minutes or until done.
Serve with a big green salad and perhaps some sauteed green beans -- an easy, delicious, and low-carb dinner.
