Low Carb Pizza Stuffed Chicken Breasts are perfectly moist and with all the flavors of a pepperoni pizza, even non chicken breast lovers will enjoy this!
I can admit it.
Dark meat chicken is moister. Tastier. More filling and satisfying.
But while I love dark meat, like my Crock Pot Garlic Parmesan Drumsticks recipe or my Crock Pot Balsamic Chicken Thighs, I enjoy a little variety every now and then.
Taking boring chicken breasts and rolling them up with pizza toppings makes a ho- hum kind of meal into extra-ordinary and a family approved winning recipe!
You don’t have to smother your chicken breasts in tomato sauce and you might not even like tomato sauce. But if you do I’ve got a fabulous Quick and Easy Marinara Sauce just perfect for this meal!
To be honest, I am a sauce lover and my kids, not so much. They prefer no sauce when it comes to Italian type meals. I feel terribly sorry for them and hope one day to win them over to my side, the Italian sauce side. 🙂
You can obviously skip the pepperoni if your crew isn’t into it, but personally it provides a nice spicy bite!
You can even make this ahead. Cool Completely, refrigerate or freeze for an easy weeknight meal.
For the record, although my kids really don’t like tomato sauce, they all ate this up. Picky daughter doesn’t like anything spicy and picked out the pepperoni, other than that, it was a huge hit in my house!

Im usually not a fan of chicken breasts either because they can been too dry and bland. But these breasts look super moist and tender! This recipe is perfect for my usual pizza cravings!
Thanks Bethany!
Looks yummy
Made these tonight. They came out great. I did cover the pan with tin foil while baking to keep it moister.
Thanks for the tip! I was wondering whether to cover or not.
Just happened upon this recipe. Made my family traditional pizza, but I wanted it too! It’s in the oven!
