Pepperoni stuffed Parmesan Chicken

I thought of this recipe a long time ago and felt like such a genius!!! I had never made stuffed chicken before and I wasn't sure how it really works. After I tried this recipe, I realized how easy it was and I decided to make the Pepperoni Stuffed Parmesan Chicken.

Bear with me because I just threw things together and didn't measure. So you may need to alter the measurements slightly. Eye it. That's what I did.

This is an awesome recipe! It's very filling. It's not really calorie conscious. I made spaghetti to go with it, but that ended up just being too much.
