Ingredients

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded and divided
½ cup parmesan cheese
1 large egg
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 medium green bell pepper sliced
24 ounces marinara sauce
6 ounces pepperoni slices

Instructions

In a bowl, add 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, egg, onion powder, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined and set aside.
Slice a pocket in the chicken and add a ¼ of the cheese mixture inside. Then, top with green peppers and add to the slow cooker.
Pour marinara sauce over the chicken. Then, top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and add pepperoni slices.
Cover and cook on high for 2½ to 3 hours or on low for 4 to 5 hours.
Serve over pasta and enjoy!

Notes

Slice the chicken evenly so it cooks uniformly and stays tender throughout.
Don’t overfill the cheese pockets to prevent the filling from leaking during cooking.
Layer the chicken in a single layer in the slow cooker and pour the sauce evenly over the top for consistent flavor.
Use shredded mozzarella for smooth melting and a perfect cheesy topping.
