Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup marinara sauce
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/2 cup chopped pepperoni
12+ whole pepperonis
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Direction
Butterfly each piece of chicken, and then pound them out to make sure it’s all flat and even; set aside.
In a small bowl, stir together 1/2 cup of the marinara sauce, Italian seasoning, chopped pepperoni, 1/4 cup shredded cheese, and the Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined.
Divide the sauce mix between all 4 pieces of chicken. Spread out over the chicken breast, to within 1/4 inch of the edges.
Gently roll up each piece as tightly as you can, like a burrito. Secure with toothpicks.
Place, seam side down, in a greased baking dish.
Pour the remaining sauce over the chicken and spread out to evenly coat each piece.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 50 minutes, or until meat thermometer reads almost 155 degrees F.
Sprinkle with remaining shredded cheese, and top with whole pepperoni.
Bake for 10-12 minutes more or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let stand for 5 minutes. Remove toothpicks.Serve!!!
