Pepperoni Pizza Chicken Rollups

By tulawdog

Ingredients

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 35 slices pepperoni, divided
• 4 ounces sliced or shredded mozzarella cheese
• 3 cups pizza sauce

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Place 5 slices of pepperoni on each breast and divide the cheese among the breasts. Roll up the breasts and seal with toothpicks.

Chop the remaining pepperoni and place in a medium skillet. Heat until they have released most of their fat. Remove the pepperoni and set aside. Place the chicken roll ups in the skillet and fry in rendered fat for about 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Place the chicken in a baking dish. Combine the pizza sauce and the fried pepperoni and pour over chicken.

Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
