Skillet Pizza Chicken

This Skillet Pizza Chicken is my go-to recipe whenever I have my nieces and nephews over.
It’s a great simple dish that takes minutes to make and it's easy to clean up since it’s using only one cookware, on top of being a kid’s favorite.
Plus, it’s almost impossible to mess up. As long as you can cook some chicken in a pan and stir a couple of times you’re good to go.


Chicken is sautéed for a couple of minutes in olive oil so it browns a little, then you add the tomato sauce and seasoning. Let everything simmer for 10 minutes until the tomato sauce starts to thicken and chicken is cooked through. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese, let it melt until perfection, and voilà the dish is ready.
Juicy chicken, delectable tomato sauce, and oozing cheese: What’s there not love?


This Skillet Pizza Chicken is a great recipe to have in your back pocket to whip up quickly on busy weeknights. An incredibly easy but incredibly flavorful recipe that I’m sure will become a staple in your home.
