Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine bread, ham, sage, and 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper, and set aside.
- Lay chicken flat on a work surface. Using a paring knife, cut a 2-inch-long slit in the thick side of each breast half.

Stuff each pocket with bread mixture, packing tightly; season chicken with salt and pepper.

Cook until chicken is opaque throughout, 6 to 8 minutes more. Transfer to a plate (reserve skillet); cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
- Heat remaining tablespoon oil in skillet over medium-high; add broccoli and garlic. Cook, tossing, until broccoli is warmed through, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove skillet from heat; stir in vinegar. Serve stuffed chicken with broccoli.

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.
BROCCOLI-CHEDDAR STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS
I've taken the classic flavors of broccoli Cheddar soup and transformed them into a filling for baked chicken breasts. But feel free to grab whatever cheese, herbs and spices you've got and use those instead. This recipe would also work great with cauliflower and/or any type of cheese that has a decent melt factor. Firmer cheeses like Parmesan and Gruyère would be welcome additions, but I'd steer clear of anything that's extra-soft (think Brie or mascarpone) because we want the filling to stay intact.

Steps:
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F.
- Place the broccoli in a microwave-safe bowl then add 2 tablespoons water. Cover the bowl (a large plate works best) then microwave for 2 minutes. Remove the broccoli to paper towels, drain very well and let cool slightly.
- Chop the broccoli into small, pea-sized pieces then return it to the bowl. Add the Cheddar, cream cheese, chives, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Arrange the chicken breasts on a cutting board, and using a sharp knife, cut a deep pocket horizontally into each chicken breast without cutting all the way through to the other side.
- Divide the broccoli mixture among the chicken breasts, pressing it firmly into each pocket.
- Season the outsides of the chicken breasts on both sides with garlic powder, salt, pepper and any other preferred spices.
- Divide the olive oil among two ovenproof skillets set over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add 2 of the chicken breasts to each skillet. Cook the chicken until seared on one side, about 3 minutes, then flip it once and cook until seared on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Transfer the skillets to the oven and continue cooking the chicken breasts until the thickest part of each breast reaches 165 degrees F, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove the chicken breasts from the oven and serve.

BROCCOLI CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN
This cheesy broccoli chicken is the perfect comfort food on a cold day. By buying thin-sliced chicken cutlets, you save yourself the work of slicing them yourself, however feel free to cut regular-sized chicken breasts if you prefer. Slice in half horizontally, then pound thin to about a 1/4-inch thickness. Feel free to change up the flavor of The Laughing Cow® cheese for variety.

BROCCOLI AND HAM STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS
I bought some broccoli stuffed chicken breasts one time and they were soooooo delicious, but very expensive as a family meal, so I looked on the internet for something similar and made this recipe. This is a real keeper for our family. I also doubled this recipe because I had 8 chicken breasts, so needless to say we had leftovers. I added a little celery soup to the broccoli along with green onions, salt and pepper to flavor, for a variation and it was wonderful. The best stuffed chicken I have ever had.

Tips:
- To ensure even cooking, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. It should reach 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part of the thigh.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, cook the chicken until the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
- For a crispy skin, pat the chicken dry before cooking and brush it with melted butter or olive oil.
- To prevent the chicken from drying out, baste it with the pan juices every 15-20 minutes.
- If you don't have time to make the stuffing, you can use store-bought stuffing mix.
- If you don't have fresh sage, you can use dried sage. Use about 1/4 teaspoon dried sage for every tablespoon of fresh sage.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.
