Servings: 4 roll-ups
Calories: 263kcal
Ingredients
- 2 (8 oz) boneless skinless chicken breasts*
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- black pepper
- 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
- 8 slices turkey pepperoni
- 8 slices white button mushrooms
- 1/4 cup seasoned whole wheat bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup marinara sauce
- 8 thin slices red onion
- 2 tablespoons green bell pepper finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment and spray with cooking spray.
- Halve each chicken breast horizontally to create 2 cutlets. Cover with a piece of wax paper and lightly pound to a 1/4 in thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
- Lay the chicken cutlets on a work surface and top each piece, in the center, with 1 tablespoon mozzarella, 2 slices pepperoni, and 2 slices mushroom. 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 cooking spray.
- Bake until the chicken is nearly done, about 20 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven.
- Top each roll-up with 1 tablespoon marinara, 1 tablespoon mozzarella, 2 slices red onion, and 1 1/2 teaspoons bell pepper.
- Bake until the cheese is melted and the sauce is hot, 4 to 5 more minutes. Serve immediately.
