Pizza-Fied Chicken Casserol
- 1 lb chicken breast, boneless and skinless
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup reduced-fat cream cheese, room temperture
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 1/2 cups mushrooms, chopped
- 3/4 cup green bell pepper, chopped
- 3/4 cup low fat marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8" X 8" baking pan with nonstick spray.
- Pound chicken to 1/2-inch thickness. Season with salt and black pepper. Bring an extra-large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Cook for about 4 minutes per side, until cooked through. Transfer to a cutting board.

- Remove skillet from heat; clean, if needed. Re-spray, and bring to medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and bell pepper, and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoons garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoons onion powder. Cook and stir until slightly softened and lightly browned, about 6 minutes.
- Transfer skillet contents to the bowl with the cream cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly.
- Chop chicken, and evenly place in the baking pan.
- Evenly top chicken with creamy veggies, marinara sauce, mozzarella, and chopped pepperoni.
- Bake until entire dish is hot and bubbly and mozzarella has melted, 20 - 25 minutes.
