Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease the bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish with olive oil.
2. Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise into two cutlets. Place between sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/4-inch thickness. Mix all the seasonings in a small bowl and sprinkle over both sides of the cutlets.
3. Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbsp olive oil and, once hot, add the chicken in a single layer. Sear about 2 minutes per side, until golden, then move to the prepared dish. It does not need to be cooked through. Repeat with the rest, adding oil as needed.
4. Arrange the cutlets in a single layer in the dish. Spoon pizza sauce over each and spread to coat. Top with mozzarella, then tomato slices, then pepperoni.
5. Bake uncovered at 400°F for 25 minutes, until the cheese is golden in spots and the chicken reaches 165°F inside.
6. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chopped basil before serving, if using.
