SKILLET CHICKEN WITH TOMATOES, PANCETTA AND MOZZARELLA
With a topping of tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella, it's no wonder that I always think of this easy skillet dish as "pizza chicken." It's a tangy, milky, gooey, lovable meal that's somewhat reminiscent of chicken Parmesan, but with succulent bone-in chicken pieces instead of breaded and fried cutlets. Even better, it has pancetta and anchovies for complexity of flavor, and the whole thing comes together in under an hour.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Pat chicken dry and season with salt and pepper.
- In a large oven-proof skillet, warm oil over medium-high heat. Add pancetta and cook, stirring frequently, until browned. Use a slotted spoon to transfer pancetta to a paper-towel-lined plate.
- Add chicken to skillet. Sear, turning only occasionally, until well browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a large plate. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon oil.
- Add garlic, anchovy and red pepper flakes to skillet; fry 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes and basil. Cook, breaking up tomatoes with a spatula, until sauce thickens somewhat, about 10 minutes.
- Return chicken to skillet. Transfer skillet to oven and cook, uncovered, until chicken is no longer pink, about 30 minutes.
- Scatter bocconcini or mozzarella pieces over skillet. Adjust oven temperature to broil. Return skillet to oven and broil until cheese is melted and bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes (watch carefully to see that it does not burn). Garnish with pancetta and chopped basil before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
- Mix goat cheese, red pepper, pecans, and garlic together in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Lay each cutlet onto two slices of pancetta.
- Sandwich each chicken cutlet between two sheets of plastic wrap; pound chicken with a kitchen mallet to about 1/4 inch thick. Spoon goat cheese mixture onto the chicken cutlets. Roll chicken and pancetta around the goat cheese mixture and place onto prepared baking sheet with the seam side down. Season each roll with salt and pepper.
- Cook until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 20 to 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the rolls should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

PANCETTA CHICKEN WRAPS WITH ROASTED TOMATOES
Simple but impressive looking! A cast iron pan is recommended and therefore can be made on the barbecue as well as the stove. A roasting tin can also be used.

Steps:
- Arrange a quarter of the pancetta slices in a row on a cutting board, overlapping them slightly along their long sides.
- Put a chicken breast at one end so that it lies across the slices of pancetta. Top with 3 sage leaves and season with salt and pepper.
- Wrap the chicken in the pancetta so that it is completely enclosed.
- Repeat steps 1-3 with the remaining three chicken breasts.
- Heat the oil in the pan for 1-2 minutes until hot, then lay the chicken parcels in the pan and cook for 7-8 minutes, turning occasionally to cook on all sides. The pancetta will become golden and crisp.
- Remove the parcels, lay the tomatoes in the pan and shake to coat in the cooking juices, then heat through for 2-3 minutes.
- Return the chicken to the pan, take the pan off the heat and leave the chicken to rest in it for about 10 minutes so it will cut more easily.
- *NOTE: Try to find small tomatoes that are still on the vine. You'll want 4-5 per stem for each serving.
