- 2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 8 slices pancetta
- 2 small tomatoes, quartered
- ¼ cup Della Terra Premium Extra Virgin Olive OIl

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Lay a breast between two layers of saran wrap and hammer out to an even thickness with a tenderizer mallet. Repeat for the other three breasts.
Set one breast across two slices of pancetta. Lay several slices of pear widthwise, drizzle with Neapolitan Herb Balsamic and sprinkle with dried thyme. Roll together lengthwise, secure with a toothpick, brush the entire outside with extra virgin olive oil, and lay in a casserole dish. Repeat for the other three breasts.
