Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon each)
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 jar marinara sauce (24 ounces)
4 slices thick cut mozzarella cheese
30 slices pepperoni
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/8 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400º. Spray a large baking dish with nonstick spray.
Butterfly each chicken breast but do not cut all the way through. Place the chicken breasts in a large bowl.
Add olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to the bowl and toss to combine/coat the chicken.
Pour half of the marinara into the bottom of the baking dish and spread into a thin layer.
Take one chicken breast and open to expose the inside of the butterfly cut.
Place slice mozzarella inside chicken breast and then top with 5 slices pepperoni. Add a spoonful of marinara and then top with a sprinkle of grated parmesan. Close the chicken breast (you can secure with toothpicks, but that is optional. If you use toothpicks don't forget that they're there!) and lay in baking dish. Repeat with all four chicken breasts.
Top the chicken breasts with the rest of the marinara and use a spoon to make sure the breasts are fully covered. This will make sure the chicken is super moist and doesn't dry out.
Top the marinara with the shredded mozzarella, remaining pepperoni, and remaining grated parm. Sprinkle with more Italian seasoning if desired.
Bake for 25 minutes or until the internal temperature on the chicken reaches 165F.
Enjoy!

Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

½ cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup all-purpose flour
1 egg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
½ cup pizza sauce, divided
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
4 slices pepperoni, or to taste - divided

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl; place flour into a second bowl. Whisk egg and lemon juice together in a third bowl.
Dip each chicken breast in egg mixture and dredge in flour; dip again in egg mixture and dredge chicken in crumb mixture until coated. Place coated chicken breasts into a baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is heated through and crumbs are golden, about 20 minutes.
Spoon 2 tablespoons pizza sauce onto each chicken breast, sprinkle each with half the mozzarella cheese, and top each with half the pepperoni slices.
Bake until chicken is no longer pink inside and the juices run clear, about 10 more minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
