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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place one chicken breast between 2 pieces of parchment paper or wax paper and pound it with a meat tenderizer (or the bottom of a heavy skillet) until it is 1/4 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
- Combine the basil, Parmesan, garlic and pine nuts in a blender. Pulse for 15 seconds, then with the blender running, stream in the oil. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed and continue blending until the pesto is pureed. Taste and season the pesto with salt and pepper.
- Spread one-fourth of the pesto on one side of each of the chicken breasts, then top the pesto with 3 slices of mozzarella per chicken breast. Beginning at the shorter end, tightly roll up each chicken breast and secure it with a toothpick. Sprinkle the outsides of the roulades with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat and add 2 to 3 tablespoons oil. Once the oil is hot, add the roulades and sear them on all sides until they're browned, about 10 minutes.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the roulades until they are cooked throughout and reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Remove the roulades from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Remove the toothpicks, then slice and serve.
