1. Hello, first I'd like to thank you for sharing this super tasty recipe qith us. What I need to know is how long do you keep the chicken in the oven until chicken is done cooking (after adding the pepperoni)? Thanks!

   1. HI Bianca - the time would depend on how large your pieces of chicken are. It is recommended to cook until an internal temperature of 165 degrees F for chicken.

2. How many calories do you think this is per meal?

   1. 192 calories per serving, including the pepperoni and broccoli

      1. what brand of pizza sauce? just want to make sure i have accurate amounts for the nutritional info!
         thanks!

         1. Hi Holly - we just input a generic brand when calculating the macros since all products we
            use are not available world wide. To keep the carbs as low as possible, we would recommend
            a pizza sauce with no more than 8g of carbs per serving.

3. I used thicker breasts so I adjusted the cook time. I cooked them at 425 naked for 15 minutes, then added the sauce, pepperoni, spices (I also added garlic salt), and cheese. I put them in for another 5 minutes and they came out perfectly. They're moist and flavorful

   1. That's great, Julie! Thank you so much for sharing! We are so happy you tried the recipe. Have a great day!

4. 8g of carbs or net carbs?

   1. Hi Laura - No. That is total carbs, not net carbs.

5. Can this be frozen? Would I freeze before or after cooking?

   1. HI Leeann - This recipe should not be frozen.

6. Can you tell me why I cannot freeze it? I freeze chicken all the time when I food prep. Thanks.

   1. Hi Sherry- we do not recommend freezing this because the cheese and pepperoni do not taste good when reheated from frozen. However, if you give it a try and find that you enjoy it, please let us know so that we can share with our readers.

7. How long did you leave in for step 7?

   1. Hi Missy - It should be approx 6-8 min depending on the size of the chicken breast. You want to make sure the thickest part of the chicken is 165 degrees to ensure it's fully cooked

8. What is the net carbs?

   1. Hi Ashley, Unfortunately, we did not calculate the fiber on the recipe. Carbs - fiber = net carbs. However, you can very easily load this into your nutrition tractor to get the count!

9. How would people recommend I reheat these?
   Thanks.

   1. We typically use the microwave to reheat them. 1 min - 1.5 min should be plenty of time.

10. Hi I made this and it was yummy! I felt like a lot of my sauce came off when I cooked it, any tips? Also I did use pasta sauce is there a difference between that and pizza sauce?

    1. Hi Julia, the brand of sauce you use will make a difference. You want a thicker sauce. Pizza sauce is normally much thicker than regular pasta sauce, but again it depends on the brand. We are so happy you enjoyed the recipe!

11. Will be making tonight to bring to work rest of the week. Thanks for sharing such a simple recipe.

    1. You are very welcome, Connie! Please let us know what you think!

12. This was awesome. However I think it would be better if I had a meat tenderizer and pounded the chicken flat and thin. Will do that next time. The breasts I got were way too big. Will be making again!

13. Do you get your mozzarella sliced at the store? Doesn’t look like shredded from the pictures. I assume the cheese will still do fine if using shredded? Excited to make this tomorrow!

    1. Hi Ryan. You could shred it yourself or buy it pre-shredded. It shouldn’t make a difference.

14. I have never heard of pizza seasoning before...and could not find any at the store. Where can I get some?

    1. Hey Tracy - You could make your own if you have the ingredients on hand, or possibly at your local grocery store. Here is the base for a great pizza seasoning:
       1 1/2 tbsp oregano
       1 tbsp dried basil
       1 tsp dried rosemary
       1 1/2 tbsp dried onion flakes
       1/4 tsp dried thyme
       1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
       1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
       1/4 tsp garlic powder

    2. Hi I bought my pizza seasoning today at H.E.B. Not sure if you have that store! It tastes really good...

       1. Woo hoo! It's definitely a seasoning blend that some manufacturers make. We think it's good on a lot of things, including this dish. So glad you found something fun at the grocery store that will help you with your meal prep!

15. 
    LOL! Made this for dinner tonight. My husband enjoyed it so much he couldn't finish a sentence expressing how good it was before going for another bite! Definitely a winner 🙂

    1. That makes us SO HAPPY to hear, Carol! Thanks so much for sharing this with us! Have a wonderful day!

    Hey!

    I was wondering about the chicken. Bought the stuff for this meal prep but I’m confused on the chicken...
    Am I using 4 small breast equaling 1 lbs?
    1lbs of chicken breast is like 700+ calories...

    1. Hey Michelle. Yes... 1/4 lbs of chicken is 1 serving fr this recipe. If you increase your serving size, the macros will adjust from there

17. Tasty and easy. Would like more nutrition data. Fiber, sat fat, sugars, sodium, etc

18. If I am preparing this meal for a week of lunches and I want to include the broccoli in the storage (to reduce decision fatigue and try an increase my likelihood of actually eating the broccoli), do I steam it before I store it? Or do I store it as raw broccoli and steam it before I eat it that day?

    1. Mine was steamed prior to storage. Then I just heated in the microwave. It’s soft, but that’s how I like my broccoli.

19. 
    As a newly diagnosed diabetic who is struggling to change my habits, eat better, and attempt to combine a diabetic lifestyle with an antiflammatory lifestyle at the same time – I appreciate this recipe.

    I don’t like pepperoni, so it was omitted and made the portions smaller.

    Absolutely delicious. Home made pizza seasoning and sprinkled a little on the broccoli too!

    Soooo good!

    I appreciate you, even if I wasn’t your target audience, it works for me! Thank you!
