Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Mix together the soft cheese, garlic and herbs with some seasoning. Cut a slit in the side of each chicken breast, ensuring you don’t pierce through the other side. Using your fingers, make a bigger pocket and stuff the creamy mix inside. Season the chicken breasts, then wrap 3 slices of pancetta around each, covering the pocket tightly.

Put on a baking tray, brush with a little oil and bake for 18-20 mins until cooked through.
