Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Season the chicken breasts generously on both sides with salt and pepper and sprinkle with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pan-sear the chicken breasts until they are golden brown on both sides (about 3 minutes on each side. Note: they will not be cooked through at this stage.
3. Transfer the chicken breasts to a cutting board and let cool. Cut slits in the chicken breast about ¾ of the way through.
4. Spoon some of the marinara sauce into each slit. Then put 2 to 3 slices of pepperoni in each slit with the sauce.
5. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the tops of the chicken breasts.
6. Spoon the pesto on top of the cheese and sprinkle with a pinch of red pepper flakes.
7. Bake for 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
8. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over top. Bake for 5 additional minutes.
9. Serve with remaining sauce.
