   Heat a heavy skillet over medium to medium-high heat and add the butter and olive oil.

5. 5
   Remove the chicken to a plate.
6. 6
   Pour the marinara sauce into the pan and stir to heat through.
7. 7
   Nestle the chicken cutlets in the sauce, the arrange pepperoni slices over the top of each one.

   Lay a mozzarella slice on top, then cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
9. 9
   Sprinkle with parsley.
