Bertolli Pollo alla Pancetta
Servings: 4
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 45 minutes
4 corn fed chicken breasts
150g 100g (5oz) Gorgonzola cheese
1 red pepper, thinly sliced
8 – 12 thin slices Pancetta
25g (1oz) Bertolli spread
100ml (4 fl oz) red wine
225ml (8 fl oz) chicken stock
1tsp cornflour
Fresh thyme to garnish
Flatten the chicken breasts slightly and place a quarter of the cheese on each breast with a quarter of the pepper slices.
Roll up and wrap each one with 2 – 3 slices of pancetta. Secure with cocktail sticks.
Melt the Bertolli in a large frying pan, add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally until lightly brown.
Pour in the wine and stock, cover and simmer gently for 30 – 40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Blend the cornflour with a little cold water to make a smooth paste and stir into the pan. Cook gently, stirring, until the sauce thickens.
Serve the chicken with the sauce and garnish with thyme.
