- 4 ( 4 oz.) boneless skinless chicken breasts, raw

Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Using a knife, cut 4-5 horizontal slices (halfway down) along the middle of each chicken breast.
- Press 2 slices of turkey pepperoni into each cut of chicken breast (8 slices of turkey pepperoni per breast) and stuff mozzarella evenly into each cut & repeat with each chicken breast. (using 1/2 oz. mozzarella per chicken breast)

I'm making this for dinner. In oven now. Only thing I didnt have pepperoni, so I used Italian cappicolla. Surely the smartpoints will be different. First time making this.
