Ingredients
- Olive oil spray or cooking spray
- 2 8-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
- 12 slices turkey pepperoni
- 12 slices white button mushrooms
- 1/4 cup seasoned whole wheat or regular bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/3 cup marinara sauce, homemade or store-bought
- 8 thin slices red onion
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped green bell pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and spray with oil. Set aside.
- Halve each chicken breast horizontally to create 2 cutlets. Cover with a piece of wax paper and lightly pound to a 1/4-inch thickness. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Lay the chicken cutlets on a work surface and top each piece, in the center, with 1 tablespoon mozzarella cheese, 3 slices pepperoni, and 3 slices mushroom. Loosely roll each one up and set them seam side down.
- In a small bowl, combine the bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. In a second small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, and pepper to taste. Dip a chicken roll-up into the oil mixture, then in the bread crumb mixture. Place it seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Lightly spray the roll-ups with oil.
- Bake until the chicken is nearly done, about 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Top each roll-up evenly with marinara sauce, mozzarella cheese, onion, and bell pepper. Bake until the cheese is melted and the sauce is hot, about 4-5 more minutes. Serve immediately.
- Note-feel free to stuff the chicken with your favorite pizza toppings!
