Ingredients
 
 

  • 4 chicken fillets
  • 3.5 ounces pancetta
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 4.5 ounces sun-dried tomatoes drained, oil reserved
  • 7 ounces cherry tomatoes cut in half
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • ½ cup cooking cream
  • 3.5 ounces tomato paste
  • ⅔ cup chicken broth
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • 3.5 ounces crumbled feta
  • 3 tbsp chopped parsley
  • red pepper flakes for serving

Instructions
 

  • Heat 3 tablespoons oil from the sun-dried tomatoes in a large non-stick frying pan over high heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove, leaving the oil in the pan and set aside.
  • Season the chicken fillets all over with sweet paprika powder, salt and pepper.
  • In the same pan, melt the butter. Add the chicken and cook over medium heat, for 5 minutes per side or until fully cooked and browned on both sides. Remove from skillet and place on a clean plate. Cover with foil.
  • In the same skillet, add onion and garlic, cook until softened over low heat, about 2 minutes. Add cherry tomatoes, cook for 2 minutes. Pour white wine, cook for 2 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, season with salt, pepper and oregano. Pour chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  • Add sun-dried tomatoes and cream. Stir to combine. Add chicken back into the skillet. Crumble the feta among the chicken. Allow to simmer for 5 more minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is slightly thickened.
  • Serve topped with parsley and crispy pancetta. Sprinkle with some red pepper flakes and enjoy!
