Ingredients
- Olive oil spray
- 2- 8 oz. chicken breasts
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- Black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
- 8 slices turkey pepperoni
- 8 slices white button mushrooms
- 1/4 cup seasoned whole wheat bread crumbs
- 2 tbsp. grated Parmesan
- 1/2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- 1/4 cup marinara sauce
- 8 thin slices red onion
- 2 tbsp. finely chopped green bell pepper
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 450. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment and spray with oil.
-
Halve each chicken breast horizontally to create 2 cutlets. Cover with a piece of wax paper and lightly pound to 1/4-inch thickness. Season with the salt and pepper.
-
Lay the chicken cutlets on a work surface and top each piece, in the center, with 1 tbsp. mozzarella, 2 slices pepperoni, and 2 slices mushrooms. Loosely roll each one up and set them seam side down.
-
In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs and Parmesan. In a second bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, and pepper to taste. Dip a chicken roll-up into the oil mixture, then in the bread crumb mixture. Place it seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Lightly spray the roll-ups with oil.
-
Bake until the chicken is nearly done, about 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Top each roll-up with 1 tbsp. marinara, 1 tbsp. mozzarella, 2 slices red onion, and 1 1/2 tsp bell pepper. Bake until the cheese is melted and the sauce is hot, 4-5 more minutes. Serve immediately.
