Steps

Preheat the oven to 205°C (400°F).
Cut the chicken breasts in half widthwise, without slicing all the way through. Stuff the breasts with the pizza sauce, pepperoni, pepper and mozzarella. Use toothpicks to keep the breasts closed.
Place the stuffed breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Season with pepper. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.
