Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the bacon in a single layer on a slotted pan set over a baking sheet and cook three-quarters of the way through. Remove and set aside. When cool enough to handle, roughly chop the bacon.
- Sprinkle the pounded out chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper, and spread on one side with the mustard. Place some chopped bacon, pickles, parsley and egg on top of each breast, roll tightly, and then tie in a couple places with butcher's twine to secure.
- Place a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Add the rouladen to the pan and brown on all sides. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until the rouladen reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a plate or platter and cover loosely with foil.
- Place the skillet back on the stove over medium heat and add the butter, garlic, shallot and tomato paste; cook for a minute or two. Add the wine, stock and some more parsley and bring to a boil. Season to taste. Pour the sauce over the chicken to serve.

Steps:
- Place each chicken breast between sheets of plastic wrap and pound it lightly with the flat side of a cleaver or a wooden mallet until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Trim the slices of ham and cheese so that they are the same size as the flattened pieces of chicken. Place a slice of ham on each piece of chicken and cover the ham with a slice of cheese. Season with the finely chopped garlic, thyme, marjoram, or sage and white pepper. Roll up the pieces tightly and fasten with wooden picks, or tie securely with string.
- Arrange the roulades in a greased baking sheet just large enough to hold them comfortably in one layer and pour the wine and broth over them. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven 35 to 40 minutes or until the chicken is tender.
- Transfer the roulades to a platter and cool to room temperature, then cover and chill. Remove the wooden picks or string. Slice the roulades crosswise into rounds and arrange on a chilled serving platter. Garnish with watercress or parsley sprigs and serve. Makes about 20.
- VARIATION: In a medium sized, heavy skillet melt 2 Tablespoons Clarified Butter, or heat a mixture of 1 tablespoon each butter and flavorless vegetable oil or olive oil over moderate. Add the roulades and sauté, turning to brown lightly on all sides. Add the wine and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer about 30 minutes or until the chicken is tender. Cool, chill, slice, and serve as directed above.

ROASTED CHICKEN ROULADE WITH AMERICAN TRIPLE CREAM AND GEORGIA HAM
Steps:
- For the mustard sauce: Whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard and horseradish in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cover and let sit to allow the flavors to meld while you make the chicken.
- For the chicken roulade: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the canola oil over low heat in a large saute pan. Add the garlic and red chile flakes and cook for 30 seconds. Increase the heat, stir in the baby arugula, season with salt and pepper and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
- Drizzle the chicken breasts with a little oil and thinly pound between 2 sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Put the breasts on a flat surface skin-side down, and sprinkle the top sides with salt and pepper. Place 2 slices of the ham on each breast; spread 2 ounces of the cheese over the ham and then top with one-quarter of the arugula in the center. Roll the breasts tightly and tie with butcher's twine. Sprinkle the roulade with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large ovenproof saute pan over high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and cook until it begins to shimmer. Put the rolls in the pan seam-side up and add the butter. Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 3 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven and continue cooking until the breasts are just cooked through and the cheese has melted, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Remove the rolls to a plate and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with the mustard sauce and topped with a bit of micro arugula.
Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before rolling them up.
- If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts.
- For a more flavorful roulade, marinate the chicken breasts in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices before cooking.
- To prevent the roulades from drying out during cooking, wrap them in bacon or prosciutto before baking.
- Serve the roulades with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
Conclusion:
German Chicken, Ham, and Cheese Roulades are a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. They are also surprisingly easy to make, and can be prepared ahead of time. Whether you are serving them to guests or enjoying them yourself, these roulades are sure to impress.
