Ingredients

4 boneless,skinless chicken breasts

2 oz. sliced pepperoni

1/2 c shredded mozzarella cheese (about 2 oz)

1 Tb olive oil

4 c water

1 pkg (7oz) uncooked elbow macaroni

1 jar (1lb.8oz.) tomato pasta sauce (any variety)

Choped fresh basi,if desired

Directions

Place chicken breasts flat on cutting surface. With knife parellel to cutting surface.,cut a lenthwise slit in each chicken breast,forming a pocket,keepin other 3 sides intact. Stuff each chicken breast with pepperoni and mozzarella cheese,pressing edges of each breast to seal.

In 12" non-stick skillet,heat oil over med-high heat. Cook chicken in oil about 9 mins,turning occasionally till well browned on both sides. (Chicken pockets will open slightly during cooking.). Remove from skillet;set aside.

In same skilet, slowly add water so as not to splatter. Increase heat setting to high. Heat water to boiling. Add macaroni,cook about 3 mins or till almost tender. Do not drain. Stir in pasta sauce. Heat to boiling. Retuen chicken to the pan. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and simmer 8 to 10 mins or till juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut. Garnish with basil.

For extra cheesy dinner,sprinkle with additional shredded mozzarell cheese. It will melt on it's own as it stands.
