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.

Place chicken on a baking tray lined with oiled foil. Bake at 190 deg/170 deg fan/ gas mark 5 for 20 - 30 minutes until cooked through and browned. Serve with roasted vegetables and garlic bread.
