/INGREDIENTS:

• 1 jar (14 oz) pizza sauce, reduced to 1 cup
• (Use the lowest-carb sauce you can find, or make your own pizza sauce.)
• 4 large boneless-skinless chicken breasts (6-8 oz. each)
• 1 T olive oil
• 1 tsp. Greek oregano (sometimes just called oregano)
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 6 oz. piece of Mozzarella, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
• 2 oz. sliced pepperoni (regular or turkey pepperoni)

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 400F/200C.  Put the pizza sauce in a small saucepan and simmer over low heat until it’s reduced to one cup, about 20 minutes.  Don’t skip this step or the dish will be watery.
2. While the sauce reduces, trim the chicken breasts and cut each one crosswise to make two same-size pieces.  Put chicken pieces one at a time inside a heavy plastic bag and use a meat mallet (or something heavy) to pound the chicken until it’s as thin as you can get it without it shredding apart.  (Don’t worry if some pieces break apart a little.)  Mix the Greek oregano and garlic powder in a little bowl and then sprinkle both sides of each piece of chicken with the mixture.
