Chicken breasts stuffed with cheese and pepperoni
Description
You can bake these chicken breasts in the oven or fry them in a pan. You can make a large pocket or cut each one in half again. They're perfect for dinner or can even be taken to work for lunch. Instead of pepperoni, you can use ham or bacon. Serve the chicken breasts hot—they taste much better that way.
