Chicken Pizza Rolls

I created this recipe one night when trying to use some leftover pepperoni. It was a big hit with my family - I hope it will be with yours, too!

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 4
• Yields: 4 chicken rolls

Ingredients

• 4  boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5-2lbs)
• 4  slices provolone cheese
• 4  slices mozzarella cheese
• 4  tablespoons tomato paste
• 24  pepperoni slices
• 1⁄2 cup  Italian breadcrumbs
• 1  tablespoon olive oil
• 2  tablespoons  grated parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Pound each chicken breast with a meat mallet between layers of plastic wrap until slightly more than 1/8" thick.
3. Spread 1 tablespoon of tomato paste over one side of each flattened chicken breast. Cover tomato paste in pepperoni slices, about 6 per chicken breast. Top with a slice of provolone.
4. Starting at one end, tightly roll each chicken breast and secure with a toothpick. Coat each one lightly in breadcrumbs.
5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken rolls and brown, turning once, about 3-4 minutes each side.
6. Transfer browned rolls to a baking dish and top each one with a slice of mozzarella and 1/2 tablespoon of parmesan cheese.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until cooked throughout (170 degrees.).
