Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 pound chicken breast tenders
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon oregano
  • Pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and cook just about 2 minutes, then add garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute more.
  2. Meanwhile, sprinkle the chicken with the salt, pepper, oregano, and pepper flakes. Push the mushrooms to the edges of the pan. Place chicken tenders in the center of the pan. Cook about 3 to 4 minutes, or until golden, then flip and do the same on the other side.
  3. Add the pizza sauce to the pan. Cover and cook until the chicken is almost cooked through.
  4. Add the cheese, pepperoni, and olives and cover and cook until cheese is melted and chicken is cooked through.
