I have to admit, I was not a pizza girl in the past. I never used to crave pizza and would only really eat it if it was in front of me at a gathering or someone’s house. As I grew up, I wouldn’t say that I still turn to the traditional pizza but I do love the flavours of the tomato sauce, cheese and toppings! I think it was always the heaviness of the bread that would turn me off from wanting pizza as it made me feel sick after.
Now, I crave the flavours of pizza but make it in different ways like this delicious pepperoni chicken pizza bites! This is great to satisfy that pizza flavour craving but in a high protein, low calorie way! Perfect to meal prep and have everyday for lunch with a side of salad, bread, rice, pasta or potatoes!

WHAT DOES PEPPERONI CHICKEN PIZZA BITES TASTE LIKE?
These pepperoni chicken pizza bites are divine! Every bite is a burst of tangy tomato sauce, creamy melted cheese, salty pepperoni on top of a hearty chunk of chicken breast! It really satisfies that pizza craving in a high protein way!
HOW LONG DOES IT KEEP FOR?
These pepperoni chicken pizza bites keep so well. I honestly think they even taste better with time as the tomato pizza sauce has more time to marinate within the chicken! Store in the fridge in an air tight container for up to 5 days. You can reheat it anyway you’d like. I like to air fry them to reheat so the pepperoni says crispy!
INSPIRATIONS FOR THIS RECIPE?
I never really look to pizza to satisfy a craving because although I absolutely LOVE bread, it doesn’t necessarily sit well with me. Whenever I eat a heavy pizza, I don’t feel too well afterwards. I do love the combination of cheese, tomato sauce and pepperoni so I had to find another way to achieve so I don’t miss out on this delicious flavour profile! I find these chicken pizza bites to be exactly what I need without feeling guilty or having a stomach ache!
