Steps:
- Insert a paring knife into the thickest part of each chicken breast to make a 3-inch-long pocket down the side, cutting in about halfway. Rub the insides of the pockets with 1 tablespoon of the mustard for all 4 breasts. Stuff each breast with 2 half slices of ham and 1 slice of provolone, folding them to fit. Rub both sides of the chicken breasts with the olive oil and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes per side depending on the thickness of the chicken; reduce the heat to medium if the chicken becomes too dark towards the end of the cooking time. Cover the skillet with a lid or a piece of aluminum foil during the last 3 minutes of cooking time to finish cooking the chicken through to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F. Check the temperature at the thickest part of the breast without stuffing.
- Transfer the chicken to 4 plates or a cutting board and add the chicken broth and remaining 1 tablespoon mustard to the skillet. Cook, whisking, over medium-high heat until the sauce has reduced by about half, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and swirl in the butter and chopped herbs.
- Depending on the size of the breasts, either put 1chicken breast on each of 4 plates or slice all the breasts and divide among 6 plates. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve with Crispy Sliced Roasted Potatoes on the side.
- Serving suggestion: Crispy Sliced Roasted Potatoes, recipe follows.
- Place a rimmed baking sheet in the center rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- Thinly slice the potatoes about 1/8-inch thick and toss with the oil, salt and pepper. Carefully spread the slices on the hot baking sheet in a single layer and roast until golden and crispy, turning with a metal spatula occasionally and spreading them out to cook evenly, 30 to 35 minutes.

BREADED CHICKEN CUTLET WITH HAM, TRIPLE CREME CHEESE AND BABY ARUGULA
Steps:
- For the arugula salad: Whisk together the vinegar, mustard and some salt and pepper in a large bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified. Add the arugula and toss to coat the leaves with the vinaigrette. Season with salt and pepper.
- For the chicken: Place the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs in 3 separate shallow bowls and sprinkle each with salt and pepper.
- Place each chicken breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound to 1/4-inch thickness.
- Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper, dredge each breast in the flour and tap off excess. Dip into the egg wash and let any excess drip off, and then dredge on both sides in the breadcrumbs. Place on a baking rack set over a baking sheet.
- Preheat 2 large nonstick saute pans over high heat. Add 3 tablespoons of the butter and 1 tablespoon of the oil to each pan and heat until the butter is melted and sizzling. Place 2 breasts in each pan and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Flip the breasts over and continue cooking until golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, about 3 minutes longer. Remove each breast to a large plate and immediately top each breast with a few slices of cheese, a few slices of ham and some of the arugula salad.
