Pepperoni Chicken Skillet (Low-Carb, NSI, THM:S!)

Skillet meals are my jam these days! I love being able to use one pan for cooking and serving a healthy, nutritious meal. This Pepperoni Chicken skillet meal combines all the yummy flavors of pizza in a veggie-packed, creamy dinner.

I debated on calling this a skillet pizza. The only thing that stopped me was the whole no crust factor and I’m a strong believer that pizza needs a crust of some sort. But, really you won’t miss the crust in this recipe. Cast iron is my favorite type of cooking pan. I love Lodge brand because it’s durable and pretty budget friendly!


My kiddos adored this recipe thanks to the fact that it resembles a pizza! My husband was also pretty happy with it. Who else is a huge fan of dinners that disguise veggies from picky kids? My favorite veggie in disguise is cauli-rice! It takes on the flavor of whatever it’s mixed with and sometimes it gets so tender that you can’t even tell it’s there. Mixing it with a creamy sauce like in this recipe makes it a winner.

A few notes..

  • I used tenderloins because they are cheap and cook quickly! You can use whatever chicken you have on hand. You can also sub ground beef for something different.
  • Feel free to mix up the veggies and toppings. I’ve made this a few times and I usually just mix in whatever non-starchy vegetables I have in the fridge.
  • Yes, you can freeze this dinner. My only qualm is that the cream cheese sauce doesn’t have as smooth of a texture.
  • Thanks to the cauli-rice, you have enough veggies to serve this recipe as a stand alone. If you’d like you can serve it over/with a side salad.

Trim Healthy Mamas, this is an “S” meal.

    This was delicious! All my family liked it! I didn’t change anything, only left out mushrooms because my family doesn’t like them. I will be fixing this again! Thanks for sharing this THM recipe!
