Pepperoni Chicken Roll ups

Frying the pepperoni in the pan gives the sauce a nice flavor.  Delish.



2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (1/2lb each), pounded to 1/4 inch thick
3.5 oz of pepperoni slices (1/2 of a pillow pack of pepperoni), divided
4 tbsp shredded mozzarella cheese
1 c spaghetti sauce
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
salt, pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 350 F.  Season flatten chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.  Place 4-5 slices of pepperoni and 2 tbsp of cheese on each breast and begin to roll up, using tooth picks to secure.  Heat a medium skillet over medium high heat.  Chop remaining pepperoni and add to heated skillet.  Cook until pepperoni releases some of juices and strain pepperoni out of skillet into spaghetti sauce.  Fry chicken roll ups on each side 5 to 10 minutes until browned and transfer to a prepared baking dish.  Pour spaghetti pepperoni sauce over top and bake 30 to 40 minutes until chicken cooked through.
