Flatten the chicken breasts slightly and place a quarter of the cheese on each breast with a quarter of the pepper slices.
Roll up and wrap each one with 2 – 3 slices of pancetta. Secure with cocktail sticks.
Melt the Bertolli in a large frying pan, add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally until lightly brown.
Pour in the wine and stock, cover and simmer gently for 30 – 40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Blend the cornflour with a little cold water to make a smooth paste and stir into the pan. Cook gently, stirring, until the sauce thickens.
Serve the chicken with the sauce and garnish with thyme.
