Today we’re blinging up our breasts! Chicken breasts that is. We’re pizza-fying our dinner in a healthy way (though if you simply can’t resist that pizza dough, try one of these healthier pizza recipes instead). Chicken topped with pizza sauce, gooey cheese, pepperoni and crunchy veggies. Oh yes! Cooked all in one dish (protect your hands with quirky oven mitts), this meal makes a great throw-it-all-in weeknight dinner. Top with your favorite toppings: ham and pineapple, hot and spicy, or four cheese all work.

Ingredients:

Serves 4
— 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts

— 1 Tablespoon olive oil

— ¼ teaspoon salt

— ¼ teaspoon pepper

— ½ cup pizza sauce

— ¼ cup shredded mozzarella

— ½ cup cheddar cheese

— ½ teaspoon dried oregano

— ½ red bell pepper, chopped

— ½ green bell pepper, chopped

— ¼ red onion, sliced thinly

— ¼ cup sliced pepperoni

— 2 Tablespoons freshly chopped parsley

Instructions:

Sprinkle on the two cheeses followed by the oregano, peppers, onion and pepperoni. Place back in the oven to cook for 10-15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked throughout.

3. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with salad and fries if you like!

It looks like we'll just be getting Jacob Elordi movies for the rest of time, and honestly, I'm thankful. (Even if that one cringy Kissing Booth scene still runs on a loop in the my brain). Before Swift Horses with Daisy Edgar Jones, Jacob is teaming up with another Hollywood titan you'll recognize from Pretty Woman: Richard Gere. And the movie looks incredibly emotional.

Here's all the latest info on Jacob Elordi and Richard Gere's brand new movie Oh, Canada.

What is the Oh Canada movie about?

Oh, Canada Plot

Oh, Canada follows the life of legendary (albeit fictional) filmmaker Leonard Fife. This story probably approaches Leo's career the way we think about Steven Spielberg's. AKA, he's very important. Leonard decides to tell his life story before he runs out of time. And even though he's got an impressive resumé, he also has to decide if he wants his Vietnam draft dodge and sticky relationships to become public knowledge.

"Leonard sits for an extended interview with his former student Malcolm (Michael Imperioli), relating candid stories about his younger self (Jacob Elordi) in the tumultuous 1960s and beyond," the synopsis says, adding that "at Leonard’s insistence, his wife and indispensable artistic partner, Emma (Uma Thurman), bears witness to it all."

How to watch Oh Canada?

Oh, Canada Release Date

Jacob Elordi's new movie is coming to theaters December 6, 2024 — the same day as Rachel Zegler's Y2K and Amy Adams' Nightb—ch!

Who's in the movie?

Kino Lorber

Oh, Canada Cast

The cast of Oh, Canada includes Richard Gere, Jacob Elordi, Uma Thurman, Michael Imperioli, and Victoria Hill, while the movie is written and directed by Paul Schrader (who also worked with Richard on 1980's American Gigolo!

What has the cast said about the movie?

Uma Thurman has been vocal about how excited she is to be a part of the project and told Deadline the movie feels like a "reverie" and has a "lyrical, sort of loosely knit, poetic" quality about it.

"The cinematic hand of Paul, of course, carried the day, as far as bringing this sort of illusionary dream together into something that you walk away from with the strong impression of a story," she says. "Just the presence of a master like Paul Schrader on a set of any size, is as distinct as, I don’t know, a warm wind. It’s like the wind that hits you when you get off a plane in the tropics. There’s only one thing of its ilk, and he’s kind of a master like that. You could really be anywhere; you can’t miss it."

That sounds like my kind of movie.

Director Paul Schrader revealed he fell in love with Jacob's performance the moment he saw him — which was before he took the world by storm in Priscilla. “I saw his performance on Zoom and, if this was 40 years ago, this is the guy I would have cast for American Gigolo,” he told The Hollywood Reporter.
