Pizza Stuffed Chicken

I used a recipe found online and it was for 4 breasts.



Slit them on one side (making sure to not open th other sides) and stuff with 3-6 slices pepperoni and as much mozz. cheese as you can/like. I used a toothpick and poked it in and out to help keep them closed. Sprinkle liberally with italian seasoning.

Pan fry them in about 1 tbs olive oil for a total of 9 minutes. Remove from pan. Add 3 cups water and bring to boil. Add half of a box (You cna use a whole box if needed.) of your favorite pasta (I used bowties) boil for 1/3 of the pasta cooking time (approx. 3-4 minutes). Add a jar of your favorite pasta sauce and stir well. Add the chicken back in and simmer for another 8 minutes or so (until chicken juices run clear when peirced). It seems watery, but the simmering pasta soaks up the excess. (using half a box of pasta and a whole jar of sauce makes for saucy pasta. We don't like it dry)

I served the pasta & sauce on a big platter and placed the chicken on top then scattered a bit more cheese over the top.


This was tasty, but I think I'll try it again in a few weeks and pound the chicken thin and put filling in and roll up. bake it with sauce over the top. See if it makes a difference.
