Best Pizza Chicken Melissa Clark

Obsessed with pears at the moment...especially pear cake. New favourite ingredients: fennel root and fish sauce. Also, gluten-free, though I do save recipes that aren't.

1 ½ pounds bone-in chicken thighs (or other bone-in chicken pieces)

2 strips thick-cut bacon (or pancetta), cut in pieces

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

2 tablespoons capers, drained

¼ teaspoon red chile flakes (use more or less, depending on how spicy you like it)

14 ounces canned whole plum tomatoes

2 pints fresh cherry tomatoes

1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)

¼ cup chopped fresh basil, plus 1 large sprig of basil

4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese
