  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Chop the smoked chicken and smoked pancetta into bite-sized pieces. Slice the mushrooms and mince the garlic.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pancetta

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the smoked pancetta and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes.

  5. 5

    Simmer

    Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  6. 6
