I set out to make a version of Chicken parmesan but without all the breading and decided to make it a stuffed chicken breast. The chicken is really flavorful from the poaching in its own juices with the pepperoni and cheese adding flavor. Serve with pasta or crusty bread for the sauce

“Fenway” passed away on 2/3/2021. For the last year she tried to teach her husband of 42 years how to cook like her. Although I will never be as good of a cook as her she did pass on her passion for cooking. Therefore, I will attempt to carry on her legacy and maintain/update her site. My wife was a Registered Nurse, a licensed deep water aerobics instructor, a mother to our 2 children and a fantastic cook. We grew up in New England but have been fortunate to live all over the US. I am now retired, missing her terribly, but thankful for all the years we had together and all her cooking lessons.
