What you need:
Boneless skinless chicken breasts
Slices of chicken ... things, pastrami was it?
Cheddar cheese, grated
Beef pepperoni
Parmesan cheese, grated
Salt and pepper
What you do:
- Pound the chicken breasts to about 1/4 of an inch of thickness with a mallet or a mortar. Season liberally with salt and pepper.
- Place one of the chicken pastrami slices on the flattened chicken breast, and sprinkle some cheddar cheese on it. Roll it up tightly (but carefully) to for a chicken...roll :P (man, my instructions are just SO clear!)
- Place some of the pepperoni on the chicken roll, and sprinkle both cheddar and parmesan cheeses on top.
- Bake in an oven at 180 C for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked.
And here's how it looked like. The photo doesn't do it justice, unfortunately. 
They looked very pretty :P As for the taste, people quite liked it. Though there was the usual complaint of not enough seasonings.. Oh well... The cheese taste came out quite well. I actually wanted to use a cheese that one of my uncles had brought back from Holland, but I couldn't seem to find it. Oh well... Cheeses from Holland...now *they* are something different! They have so many different flavours! And the cheese specialty shops are fascinating!
Anyway, back to the point: I'm not sure what you can eat this with, actually. Probably potatoes, Hadi tried it with rice and apparently, it doesn't work so well. He also suggested using thigh fillets instead of breasts (as usual) since chicken thighs are much juicier than chicken breasts. It might be a bit hard to flatten the thigh enough without splattering it in all directions though. Oh well, worth a try, maybe.
The chicken was actually a bit too overdone. I was too involved in basketball at that point in time than in my cooking, and didn't pay it enough attention. Oh well, it turned out more or less ok in the end. Though...I had NO idea that pepperoni was so spicy! o.0
