Pizza Chicken and Green Bean Casserole

Yummmmm!!!!!! This was the perfect week day meal! Easy, quick, and made with ingredients that we usually all have on hand! And both girls finished their green beans! It's a miracle!! I loved the chicken - it had great flavor and was really juicy. And you could easily add your favorite pizza toppings!


Pizza Chicken

4 boneless skinless chicken breast
4T pizza sauce
24 slices pepperoni
2T olive oil
4 thin green pepper slices
4T sliced black olives
1C shredded mozzarella

Season the chicken (I used garlic powder and Italian seasoning). Heat 1T of oil in a large skillet. Cook the chicken until golden brown, about 5-10 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken and set aside. Add the remaining oil and sauté the green pepper slices (and other veggies if you are using them, mushrooms, onions, ect) until crisp tender. Place the chicken on a baking sheet. Add 1T pizza sauce to each chicken breast. Top each with 6 pepperoni slices, a pepper ring and 1T black olives. Top with 1/4C cheese. Bake in a 425* oven until the cheese is melted and chicken is cooked through.

Green Bean Casserole

2T butter
2T flour
1tsp salt
1tsp sugar
1T garlic powder
1tsp crushed red pepper flake
1C sour cream
2 cans green beans - drained
1 1/2C shredded cheddar
1/2C ritz cracker crumbs
1T melted butter

Preheat the oven to to 350*. Melt 2T butter in a large skillet. Stir in the flour. Stir in the salt, sugar, garlic powder and crushed red pepper flakes. Add the sour cream. Whisk in the sour cream until smooth. Add the green beans. Stir to coat. Transfer the mixture to a greased casserole dish. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. In a small bowl toss together the melted butter and cracker crumbs. Sprinkle on top of the cheese. Bake for 30 minutes.
