Melissa’s recipe for Skillet Chicken With Tomatoes, Pancetta and Mozzarella has a big personality, but the number of ingredients is small. To make the most of them, they are cooked in stages so that the flavors build in the skillet.
The pancetta goes in first, sautéed until golden and crisp, then set aside while the chicken browns in the rendered fat. Plum tomatoes, garlic, anchovies and chile flakes simmer in the mixture of chicken fat, rendered pancetta and olive oil next. And all of these flavors season the chicken as it bakes in the sauce.
As a final touch, Melissa adds chunks of fresh mozzarella at the end, broiling everything until the edges are singed and the cheese oozes in milky puddles — you can see why she calls it “pizza chicken.”

Please check your international video titles. In German, all of your recent videos are called "| NEU Kochen" which is confusing and annoying. There is no need to have any titles besides English. Thank you!
PSA – Don't leave tomatoes in a cast iron pan for too long. It can start stripping the pan's seasoning and start tasting metallic. Cook and transfer.

Good cooking video
Personally I have no use for diced tomatoes
They may work for Mexican rice and beans I like the whole tomatoes I can crush it up dice it up or leave it alone whatever I want
Mmmm, one of my favourite Melissa Clark recipes! So easy, tasty, cheesy and cosy….and all the other adjectives Melissa used to describe it.
And it is gluten free!
Thanks for spreading the word about calcium chloride! It’s harmless, of course, but I’m seeing it added to other tomato products besides diced tomatoes and it’s quite annoying. Even blending the product doesn’t give the same result as tomatoes without it. I’ve had to resort to imported tomatoes to be sure I get a good result when making any kind of pasta sauce.
This looks delicious! I'm going to have to try this one.
looks good but I would not make this with bone in Chicken…boneless thighs would be great. you can't overcook thighs and removing the bone when there's cheese and tomato sauce is just a mess
I love Melissa Clark
👍
Add pepperoni and it's Aurora's Chicken Pepperoni!
Super interesting tidbit about the calcium chloride! I always found I didn't like how diced tomatoes cooked up but didn't realize it wasn't just due to the extra cutting then processing or something.
Chicken looks super tasty too 👍🏻
👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Always love Melissa Clark recipes. This one looks great as well. Will definitely try but I’ll cook and reduce the tomatoes a little bit more. It’s a bit saucy for my taste.
Looks watery
Will definitely be trying this later this week!!
Side note: if you have not tried Melissa Clakes skillet brownies, your life is incomplete. They are amazing!!! So pizza chicken for dinner, skillet brownies for breakfast, lunch, and dessert :)))
