Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast
- 1 jar pizza sauce (or use my homemade recipe link above)
- 6 ounce shredded cheese
- 4 ounce sausage
- 4 slices bacon
- 1/4 chopped red onion
- 10-12 slices pepperoni
- 2 tablespoon black olives
Chicken seasoning
- salt to taste
- pepper
- garlic powder
- italian seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F
- Cook bacon and sausage before stuffing inside chicken
- Take chicken breast and cut them down the middle to split them.
- Season both sides of chicken with seasonings above. I didn't use salt on the inside since stuffing is salty. Only added salt to the outside of the chicken
- Stuff chicken with bacon, sausage and cheese. The use a butcher's knot and secure the insides. Or use toothpicks if you don't have butcher's twine.
- Sauté chicken in a pan then remove twine or toothpicks after. Do not place in oven with twine or toothpicks still on the chicken
- Place a little pizza sauce at the bottom of the casserole dish then top with sauteed chicken
- Then add the toppings and place in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.
- Cool 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.
