Instructions
-
- In a bowl, combine full-fat crème fraîche, Dijon mustard, finely minced garlic, chopped chervil, tarragon, and Meyer lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper. Adjust the acidity with a squeeze of Meyer lemon juice if needed. Set the mixture aside.
- Prepare the chicken breasts by making a lengthwise incision and gently flattening them between clingfilm. Cut into ribbons, then spread the mustard mixture on each ribbon. Roll them up and wrap in pancetta. Secure with cotton string.
- Pan-fry the chicken rolls until the pancetta is golden brown. Deglaze the pan with white wine and chicken broth. Simmer for 7-8 minutes until the chicken is almost cooked through.
- In another pan, sauté mushrooms in butter until browned. Add sliced leeks and cook until softened. Transfer the mixture to the chicken pan and finish cooking the chicken. Season with salt, pepper, and parsley.
- Serve the succulent roulades with lemon wedges, steamed spinach, and a refreshing tomato salad on the side.
