INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken Breast
1 oz Fresh Mozzarella
1/2 cup Marinara Sauce
1 oz Turkey Pepperoni
1 tsp Olive Oil
4 Fresh Basil leaves
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Using a sharp knife, carefully create a pocket in the chicken breast by slicing horizontally, ensuring not to cut all the way through.
Stuff the pocket with fresh mozzarella and a couple of basil leaves. Season the chicken inside and out with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breast for about 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.
Pour the marinara sauce over the chicken and arrange turkey pepperoni slices on top of the sauce.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Garnish with additional fresh basil if desired, and serve warm.
