Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Pound chicken to ¼" thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
- Top each chicken breast with 5 slices of pepperoni and one cheese string (cut in half if needed). Roll the chicken up lengthwise and secure the ends with toothpicks.
- Combine the melted butter and garlic in a small dish. Mix the breadcrumbs with seasonings and put them in a separate dish.
- Dip each chicken roll in the butter mixture and then into the breadcrumbs evenly coating the chicken.
- Spray chicken with cooking spray and place in a greased 9x13 dish. Bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and top with pizza sauce, mozzarella, and 1 slice of pepperoni. Return to the oven and bake for 10 more minutes or until it reaches 165°F.
Notes
- Choose pieces of chicken that are the same size and flatten them to all equal widths so they bake at the same rate. If the chicken breasts are extra-large, they may need extra time to cook.
- If you don't have cheese strings, mozzarella can be cut from a block of cheese. Shredded cheese is not recommended.
- For an extra crispy cheesy topping place the dish under the broiler for a couple of minutes until the topping is bubbly and golden brown.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Rest for about 5 minutes before serving so the juices have a chance to get sealed inside.
