Pizza stuffed chicken

Recently, I created a homemade pizza sauce and a keto pizza casserole. Why not take it a step further and create pizza stuffed chicken? This recipe was super easy to make. Your longest time with this recipe is when it’s in the oven. So, most of the time cooking you don’t have to touch it. I get my pizza fix these days by Blaze pizza or something I whip together with a cauliflower crust. I save on money making this and I get 4 meals instead of one. Choose your own toppings or use the same ones I did. That’s the beauty in pizza however we decide to make it, it’s great for us all!

How To Make Pizza Stuffed Chicken Breast-Step By Step

  1. First, start by cooking your bacon and sausage. In the video, you may notice the ingredients weren’t cooked. Ignore that, cook your meat first.
  2. Next, split your chicken breast with a knife down the side, see video.
  3. Season the inside and outside of your butterflied chicken breast. Due to the salt content in the bacon, sausage and cheese I didn’t add salt on the inside.
  4. After seasoning, stuff the chicken with the bacon, sausage and cheese. Then either use toothpicks or butchers knot the chicken closed. See below for butcher knot method.
  5. Then, sauté chicken in the pan. Give it a great color, then you can remove the butcher knots or toothpick.
  6. Pour a little pizza sauce in the bottom of the casserole dish. Place chicken in the dish.
  7. Next, top with pizza sauce, cheese and other topping.
  8. Place in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. Allow to cool a little then serve.

Helpful Recipe Tips

  • How to tie a butcher’s knot? Here is a video explaining it. I love this method when stuffing because everything is secure. Far better than just toothpicks. You need butcher’s twine not just regular yawn. I had a hard time finding it in stores.
  • Cook the ingredients you stuff the chicken with. Originally, I used raw ingredients but they didn’t produce the flavor they should have. Cooking the ingredients they stood out far more inside the dish.
  • Top the pizza stuffed chicken with what you want but my method is a great guide if you’re not sure what to use.

Hi, I'm Darius. I am aware that I'm rather young but I started caring about my health years ago. I think it's truly important because at a young age I knew the food they were feeding us was complete b.s, can I curse up here?
