Hello lovelies,
As I was reading through my Pinch Of Nom books, looking for some inspiration, one of the first things to jump out at me where these pizza stuffed chicken breasts.
Now you’ll all have gathered by now that I’m pizza obsessed. Anything that’s to do with pizza you’ll have seen me try and test. Not all meet my high standards but the vast majority of things do, haha.
Anyway, when I saw these pizza stuffed chicken breasts, you can bet your life I was going to make them ASAP! I can honestly say that I’d never thought of making these myself before, it was something different to the usual pizza recipes I see which is what drew me to this recipe today.
Like always, I used the book as inspiration and have changed a couple of the ingredients out for my own. Still keeping it relatively low calorie of course!
Right… I’m not going to ramble on, right now I’m going to let the pictures below do the talking. I don’t think you’ll need much persuasion to make them *wink wink*!

- In each cut place one slice of halloumi, one strip of the bacon medallion and a couple of slices of onion. Repeat this for each cut.
- Next, place the stuffed chicken breasts onto a baking tray and bake in the for around 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

Well this just sounds spectacular! I’m a huge fan of pizza as well and the idea of creating a pizza chicken dish is so clever. I’d have to avoid the red onion as I’m terribly allergic to onions in general, but aside from that, I could totally make this for myself and my husband. Thanks for the awesome idea!
