Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a very large skillet heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil over medium heat. Add pancetta slices; cook 30 to 60 seconds or until they start to brown. Remove from skillet. Increase heat to medium-high.
Season chicken with 1/4 tsp. each salt and black pepper. Add chicken to skillet; cook 4 to 5 minutes until golden. Turn; cook 1 minute more. Transfer to a shallow baking pan. Top with 1 Tbsp. marjoram and the pancetta.
Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until chicken is done (165 degrees F). Meanwhile, in a medium bowl toss together fennel and onion. Drizzle with remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil; season with 1/4 tsp. each salt and black pepper. Serve with chicken. Sprinkle with remaining marjoram.
