Cooking

Cook the Pancetta
In a skillet over medium heat, cook pancetta slices until crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside on paper towels to drain excess fat.

Cook the Chicken
In the same skillet, add olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). During the last minute of cooking, place a slice of cheddar cheese on each chicken breast to melt.
