Instructions

• In between 2 pieces of parchment paper, using the meat pounder, pound the 1½ lb organic chicken breast out so that they are an even thickness.
• Sprinkle the mixed seasonings onto the chicken breast covering both sides.
• Mix together in a small dish 1 tsp pink Himalayan salt, 1 tsp organic garlic powder, 1 tsp organic Italian seasoning and ½ tsp organic onion powder.
• Heat a skillet on the stove top over medium. Pour in the 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil.
• Place the chicken into the skillet in a single layer.
• Let cook about 3 minutes. Flip.
• Let cook 2 minutes.
• Pour the 1½ cup organic pizza sauce onto each of the chicken breast. Evenly distributing on each chicken breast.
• On top of the sauce, on each chicken breast place 2 slices of the 3 oz Monterrey jack cheese and 2 slices of the 3 oz mozzarella cheese if you have 3 chicken breast. If you only have 2, do 3 slices of Monterrey jack cheese and 3 slices of mozzarella cheese on each.
• Place a lid on or cover with foil and cook another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.
• Serve with your favorite sides- we love serving with garlic bread and a vegetable. You could also serve with pasta.
