Ingredients

1 (15 oz) can crushed tomatoes

1/2 tsp kosher salt, divided

1 tsp garlic powder, divided

1 tsp onion powder, divided

1 tsp Italian seasoning, divided

1 1/2 lbs chicken breast, pounded to 1/4-inch thickness

1/8 tsp black pepper

1 tbsp balsamic vinegar

3/4 cup shredded Italian blend cheese

1/4 cup sliced pepperoni

1 (2.25 oz) can sliced black olives

1/4 cup diced green bell pepper

Directions

Set the oven to 220°C (425°F).

In the baking dish, spread half of the crushed tomatoes. Mix in 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning.

Lay the chicken over the tomatoes; season with remaining 1/4 tsp salt and black pepper.

Cover the chicken with the rest of the crushed tomatoes, then drizzle with vinegar. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, and 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning. Top with cheese.

Add pepperoni, black olives, and green bell peppers.

Bake until the cheese is bubbling and melted, and the chicken reaches an internal temp of at least 74°C (165°F), approximately 20 minutes.
