I tried this recipe from this site and it came out great. I used my own spaghetti sauce recipe which gave it my personal taste.

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 - chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
4 ounce(s) pepperoni, or ham cubed (both)
3/4 cup(s) mexican blend shredded cheese
1 tablespoon(s) olive oil, extra virgin
4 cup(s) water
8 ounce(s) macaroni, elbow or any pasta uncooked
24 ounce(s) spaghetti sauce either from jar or own recipe

Steps:

  • On flat surface cut a pocket in chicken breast leaving three sides intact. Stuff each breast with cheese and pepperoni. Press edges together to seal or use toothpicks if you choose.
  • In a 12 inch skillet, heat oil on med-high. Cook breasts for 8 minutes, turning occasionally until well browned on both sides. Remove breasts from skillet and set aside.
  • Slowly add water to skillet and increase heat to high. Bring to a boil, add macaroni, let cook for 4 minutes or until almost tender. Do not drain. Stir in spaghetti sauce until it boils. Return chicken to skillet, reduce heat to medium. Cover and simmer 10-12 minutes or until chicken juices from the center of the thickest breast comes out clear when cut. (170 degrees)
  • Garnish with extra pepperoni and cheese for a great mouthful of flavor.
