This is a dish that old and young will love. Serve on pizza night for a low-carb twist. They are simple to make and do not take a lot of time.
Helpful tips
- Use large chicken breasts. The chicken will be cut in half lengthwise. Cutting it vertically along the length. The thinner piece of meat will make rolling up the chicken with the stuffing much easier.
- Don’t overfill the chicken breast, or it will be too hard to roll up.
- Roll the chicken up as tightly as you can. Start with the narrow end first, then pull the larger side over the top.
- Secure the roll-up with a wooden pick. You may need to use two, one on both ends of the chicken.
- The leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.

Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breast Boneless and skinless
- salt and pepper to taste
- 24 slices pepperoni
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 3/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a jelly roll pan with aluminum foil and spray with a nonstick cooking spray.
- Take the chicken breast and cut them lengthwise to make them easier for rolling up.
- Salt and pepper to taste the tops of the chicken breasts that have been cut in half.
- Place six slices of pepperoni on top of each chicken breast. Divide the 1/2 cup of mozzarella over the top of the pepperoni.
- Carefully roll up the chicken breast as tightly as you can. Start with the narrow end and pull the other end over the top of the narrow end. Use wooden picks to secure the roll up.
- Set up your workstation. Add the egg to a large container with the water and beat until well mixed. In another large container combine the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.
- Roll the chicken breast in the egg mixture so that it is completely covered. Then roll in the bread crumb mixture so that the roll-up is completely covered.
- Place the chicken on the prepared baking pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. The last few minutes of baking, top the breasts with the remaining cheese and bake until it is melted.
Notes
- Use large chicken breasts for this recipe.
- Cut the chicken breast lengthwise for a thinner slice of meat. This will help with rolling up the chicken.
- Make sure to roll up the chicken tightly. This will help to keep the filling in the roll-up.
- Use cheese that you shred instead of store-bought if you can. This cheese will melt better than the pre-shredded cheese. The pre-shredded cheese will work. That is what I have used for the chicken in these pictures.
- The chicken temperature should be at least 165 degrees F. when done.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
