Preparation

    Suzanne teaches Megan and Henry how to prepare their very first meal. These pizza-stuffed chicken breasts are the perfect dish to get them excited for dinner and cooking. Plus, there's a batch in the freezer for a quick meal later on, taking the pressure of Darran in the kitchen.

  1. Place the chicken breasts on a chopping board and cut down the side of each one to create a pocket, making sure not to cut all the way through. Slice the mozzarella into 6 slices.
  2. Working with one chicken breast at a time, open the pocket and add 1 tablespoon of tomato sauce, 2 slices of mozzarella and 3 slices of pepperoni. Fold the pocket over to enclose the filling. Repeat with the rest of the chicken breasts.
  3. Add the paprika and oil to a shallow bowl and mix, then coat each stuffed chicken breast in the paprika oil.
