Ingredients
- 1 pound of chicken breasts or tenders trimmed
- 4 oz. block sharp cheddar
- ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes
- ½ pound pepperoni sandwich size
- large bunch of basil
- **optional** Marinara sauce for dunking
Instructions
- Cut chicken into bite size chunks.
- Cut off ¼ inch slices of the cheddar, then cut each slice into 4-5 narrow sticks.
- Slice the sun-dried tomatoes into thin strips.
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Place a sliver of sun-dried tomato on each large slice of pepperoni, then put chunk of chicken over it.
- Tuck piece of cheese against chicken on one side, then lay a basil leaf or two on top.
- Roll the chicken up in the pepperoni. Poke skewer through starting at the lose end of pepperoni, and right through.
- Skewer as you roll them*, and lay out on baking sheet.
- Bake for 7-8 minutes. Then remove and drain from oil.
- Serve warm, with marinara if you like.
Notes
*3 per skewer works out well, but as long as they are not packed on tightly adding a couple more should not be a problem.
Use the sandwich sized pepperoni. It is called Pepperoni Salami at some deli counters.
