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
Directions
-
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.
What would you serve with this, other than a salad. Baked potato??
Sure, potatoes would be good! Otherwise you could serve with garlic bread or pasta.
Lol! Do you see what those poor Genius Bar guys have to work with! Technologically challenged! I’ll have to do that ASAP!
These pizza chicken roll ups combine two of my favorite things: easy dinners and pizza!!!! My Mac is beyond slow maybe extra RAM will fix it. I’ll have to head over to Amazon. I think I also need more memory or at least that’s what the Genius Bar guy said….
RAM is memory! That’s probably what the Genius Bar guy meant. It cost about $70 on Amazon (way cheaper than going through Apple) for me to buy RAM and it’s super easy to install. Makes a big difference!
I love getting packages too! I had two books delivered to my office since I discovered the bookdepository. The books are affordable and shipping’s for free to any place in the world! 😀 Excellent recipe btw. I might get to eat this one. 😉
That’s awesome! I’ll have to check out the book depository.
This is such a fun recipe, Tessa! I love fun mail days, too!
The recipe is a good one especially if you aren’t in the mood for bread but crave pizza goodness. I was wondering in your pizza sauce recipe if the 1/2 tsp fennel seeds are a must since my boyfriend is allergic so maybe there is an alternative you’d suggest or is it a deal breaker? I do agree getting packages are like Christmas 🙂 Anytime I see a ton of packages in our apartment building for my neighbors I always wonder what they’ve received and slightly jealous!
You can totally skip the fennel seeds!
Seriously, your mail day sounds awesome!! I am wishing my mail days looked like that! Oh and I had to by more RAM as well, it helped so much!
Ok so these pizza rolls are awesome and my whole family would love them!! Great idea!
