I invented this on a self-catering holiday, wanting something tasty, easy, and not requiring many ingredients. Since then it has become a favourite meal, easy to make for any number from one person to a whole crowd.

3 ingredients, no washing up - what's not to like?

Use a sharp knife to cut a deep pocket in each chicken breast. Fill with the cream cheese. Fold the chicken to enclose the filling. Season with pepper. Wrap in pancetta.
