Method

  1. Place a frying pan over a medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt and freshly ground pepper. Pan fry on each side until cooked, approximately 4-5 minutes depending on the size of the chicken breasts. Remove the chicken from the pan and allow it to rest for 5 minutes, then cut into slices.
  2. Place the cos leaves into a large bowl with the chicken and gently mix through the dressing. Check the seasoning and adjust if needed. To finish, break the pancetta into pieces and sprinkle over the salad with the chives and Pecorino.
