Creamy Chicken and Swiss Chard Casserole with Pancetta

In a classic Saltimbocca, the chicken gets wrapped with prosciutto and infused with fresh sage. We took the same flavor profile and made a delicious one pan meal by adding swiss chard and a touch of cream. We used pancetta but feel free to use prosciutto if you prefer.
