I love chicken and pepperoni... this was great... added a little extra sauce to the plate with a salad, delicious.

Steps

25 mins

1

Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a 9×13 baking pan with non-stick spray. Set aside.
2

Rinse chicken with water, and pat dry. Trim off any visible fat. Cut a deep, horizontal pocket in each piece of chicken. (Be careful not to cut all the way through)
3

Stuff each chicken breast with one slice of Mozzarella cheese and 4 pepperoni slices.
4

Sprinkle the tops of pepperonis with a dash of dried basil and garlic powder. Close the chicken breasts, and secure with a toothpick.
5

Spread the bread crumbs in a shallow dish or plate. Dredge each breast into the bread crumbs to coat lightly.
6

Place all the coated and stuffed chicken breasts into the baking pan.
7

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until chicken is thoroughly cooked. Remove pan from oven, and then remove the toothpicks from each chicken breast.
8

Pour about 1/4 cup of marinara over each chicken breast. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese.
9

Place back in oven and bake another 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
