Chicken Pepperoni





Ingredients





# 1/2 lb pasta


# 1/2 whole pepperoni


# 1/3 cup flour


# 1/2 teaspoon salt


# 1/4 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground


# 1/2 teaspoon oregano, ground(or 2 teaspoons fresh)


# 1/2 teaspoon basil, crushed(or 2 teaspoons fresh)


# 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder


# 1/2 teaspoon onion powder


# 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts


# olive oil (optional)


# 16 ounces tomato sauce


# 1(6ounce)can tomato paste


# 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, crushed(or more, to taste)





Directions





1. * I used quartered low-fat pepperoni slices without sacrificing the taste. While I needed to use olive oil to make up for the missing rendered fat, I did save considerably on cholesterol.


2. Cook pasta according to package directions.


3. Dice pepperoni into 1/4'; cubes.


4. Cook in frying pan over medium heat, allowing the fat from it to render out. Remove from pan and set aside. Season flour with salt, pepper, oregano, basil, garlic powder and onion powder.


5. Cut chicken in to bite-sized chunks.


6. Dredge chicken pieces in seasoned flour until coated.


7. Shake off excess flour and brown in the rendered pepperoni fat (and olive oil, if needed) until the chicken is almost cooked.


8. Remove from pan and set aside. Whisk tomato sauce, tomato paste, crushed red pepper flakes and 1/2 cup water together in pan until smooth.


9. Return chicken and pepperoni to pan.


10. Bring to simmer and cook, stirring, for 5 to 7 minutes.


11. Serve over a bed of pasta.Anyone know a good recipe for chicken pepperoni?

Fry the pepperoni in a medium skillet until it has released most of its oil. Remove pepperoni from skillet and set aside. Brown chicken rolls in pepperoni oil about 5 to 10 minutes each side. Place chicken in a baking dish. Combine spaghetti sauce and sliced pepperoni and pour over chicken.
