- Preheat your oven to 400F (204C) for that perfect golden finish.
- In a large saut pan over low heat, warm 2 tablespoons canola oil. Stir in garlic paste and red chili flakes for 30 seconds, then crank up the heat, toss in baby arugula, season generously, and wilt it down in about 2 minutes. Pure magic in a pan!
- Lightly drizzle chicken breasts with oil and pound them thin between parchment or plastic wrap. Lay flat, skin-side down, season, then layer on 2 ham slices, 2 ounces creamy triple-cream cheese, and a quarter of the arugula. Roll tightly like a pro and tie with butcher's twine. Season the roulades and get ready to sear.
- Heat an ovenproof saut pan on high with the remaining 2 tablespoons canola oil until shimmering. Add roulades seam-side up, toss in butter, and brown on all sides in about 3 minutes. Slide into the oven for 4-5 minutes until juicy, cooked through, and cheese oozes temptingly.
- Rest the roulades 5 minutes, slice into glory, and drizzle with that zesty mustard sauce. Garnish with micro arugula for a fresh pop. Your guests will ravethis dish is pure comfort elevated to gourmet bliss!
