This is very a high-priced meal that is rich in calories as well. A lot of different ingredients make up this recipe which helps explain the high cost. A couple of ingredients in particular that contributes to the cost of this dish are: a lot of extra virgin olive oil, ground chicken, pancetta, french bread and Pecorino Romano cheese. In other words: quite a few high-calore, high-cost ingredients in the same recipe.

Possible substitutions would be bacon instead of pancetta, a cheaper hard-rind cheese (or extra-sharp soft cheese), and a lesser quality olive oil.
