Remove the pancetta from the pan leaving any cooking oils, then add the chestnuts and fry over a high heat for about 5 minutes until browned lightly.

Tip out of the pan onto a plate and set aside.

Add the sprouts to the pan with a splash of water, then cover and finish cooking over a medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring now and again, until just tender.
