Chicken & Pancetta Bake - Specially Selected

What is it?

Breast pieces and pancetta sit in a creamy sauce, then get covered with a crisp breadcrumb topping. It's a frozen bake from the Specially Selected range, built for oven cooking rather than the microwave, so the top can take on some colour while the sauce stays underneath. The filling mixes poultry and cured pork with dairy, and the breadcrumb layer gives the dish a firmer finish than a plain stew. Compared with other frozen meals in the lineup, it's one of the cream-sauce, oven-bake formats rather than a rice box or pasta dish.
