Chicken Breast with Pancetta Cream and Peas

I chose to use the mascarpone cheese and pancetta and did not enhance the flavor at all. This dish was nothing special and taking chicken in and out of the pan twice seemed unnecessary. Won't be making this again.

I made this tonight.  It was very tasty, but I would double the gravy/sauce next time.  I didn't put it over any rice or noodles, but next time I will put it over some pasta or rice noodles.  I prepped everything ahead of time, so once I started cooking it was pretty simple.  I did have to cook the chicken three times longer than specified.  I probably should have flattened the breasts a bit I guess.  I iwould also use a little less garlic and chop it after sauteing it.   Overall, I liked it quite a bit.

I had pancetta on hand and found this terrific recipe. I halved it, though I used the full amount of pancetta and peas. I substituted thick Greek yogurt for the marscapone because that's what I had. It was an absolutely delicious meal. I will make it again, and it's delicious and easy enough to make for guests. I was shocked when I discovered it was a Cooking Light recipe. It is soooooo flavorful.

This is a really delicious meal.  I made it over angel hair and the sauce was delicious.  Really strong flavors.   Definitely doe not taste low calorie. 

I too made this with cream cheese and bacon since it's what I had on hand. I thought it was too garlicky though and would cut that down in half. I didn't use olive oil at all as I fried up the bacon first instead and just used that grease. Will try next time with mascarpone and panceta.

This dish is SO good!  Didn't taste low-calorie at all.  I used cream cheese in place of the marscapone.  This reheated beautifully for leftovers the following day.  Can't wait to make this again!  http://determinedwwmomma.blogspot.com

Really good and very easy to prepare. We served it with noodles to catch the wonderful sauce. The only thing I want is to add some herbs to the chicken - thyme or herbs de provence, or rosemary. I think then it would become a 5 star dish.

Full of flavor, literally plate licking good :) I made this for dinner last night and it was a huge hit. Full of flavor. I made the recipe exactly as listed, did add a tiny more salt at the end. I was pleasantly surprised! We will make this again for sure. Probably this weekend.

Another winner from CL!! I used bacon in place of pancetta and 1/3 less fat cream cheese in place of mascarpone, but this was so amazingly creamy and yummy. It tasted full fat and delicious, but it was not bad calorie wise! I doubled the sauce and tossed some hot penne into the sauce to make a complete meal. I also added some fresh parm cheese to the top with some fresh parsley.

Delish! Used the precook end bacon instead of pancetta.

I made this last night and it was very good. We used bacon instead of the pancetta and cream cheese instead of marscarapone since that's what we had on hand. Overall it took about 45 min from start to finish. I threw the peas in frozen since it finished for a few minutes after and they were cooked all the way through by the time we ate.

I used a little regular bacon in place of the pancetta, and this was delicious! Pretty easy! Made it on a work night. Would definitely make again

I cut the breast lengthwise to cook faster. It was a bit salty with the added salt on the chicken. The pancetta provides enough salt by itself. I put over rice. This was very satisfying.

This chicken was so delicious, which is saying a lot for someone who prefers thighs. I used bacon instead of pancetta but I did use mascarpone cheese. I used thin cut breasts instead of regular cut and so I cooked them for only the first 4 minutes and skipped the second round of cooking. The sauce really takes this chicken to a higher than usual level. I would definitely cook it for guests.

I tried two Cooking Light recipes today and this is the one we had for dinner tonight. I will definitely be recommending to my friends and family. It was easy and quick to come together and the marscapone cheese made the sauce. Served with a baked white rice and peas. Looking forward to the leftovers!

Delicious! Needs some sort of bread or rolls to soak up sauce.

I used Neufchâtel cheese instead of mascarpone, otherwise made as written. Even the leftovers were excellent. Next time I may add sauteed mushrooms to the dish - seems like they would add to the dish. I served it with an orzo and spinach side dish. A keeper!

Delicious and pretty quick to make! The kids loved this. Will make again!

Very good! My sons loved it. I did have to sprinkle some parm cheese on top to give it something more appealing to the kids, but it was very good. My husband loved the sauce. Next time I will doubke everything except the chicken, for him. I used cream cheese and nutrate free bacon (3-4 slices) instead.

Made the recipe as written except that my chicken portions were probably a little less than 6 oz each so they overcooked just a tad. Also had to allow the sauce to simmer longer so that it would thicken up. All in all, the dish was delicious and I will make it again, taking care not to overcook my chicken.

Delicious! I couldn't find marscapone cheese at my store so I substituted with what I had on hand: 1T Greek yogurt and 1T cream cheese combined.
