The cooks will have to leave the second home a bit earlier than the others to put the chicken in the oven.

Ingredients  8 skinless boneless chicken breasts
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
16 thin slices prosciutto , (about 8 oz/250 g)
2 tbsp butter , melted
1/2 tsp each salt and pepper
1 cup chicken stock
1/2 cup white wine , (or chicken stock with 2 tsp/10mL white wine vinegar)
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 tbsp minced fresh parsley
Preparation
Place each chicken breast, smooth side down, between plastic wrap; with flat side of meat mallet, pound to a generous 1/4-inch (5 mm) thickness. Brush top with mustard. Place 2 slices prosciutto over each; beginning at narrow end, roll up and secure with toothpick. Place, seam side down, in small roasting pan. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)

Brush rolls with butter, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Pour in stock and wine. Roast in 425°F (220°C) oven until chicken is no longer pink in centre, about 15 minutes. Baste with pan juices, broil until golden, about 4 minutes.

Transfer chicken to cutting board, cover and keep warm. In small bowl, whisk flour with 2 tbsp (25 mL) water; whisk into pan juices and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer, whisking, until thickened, about 4 minutes. Stir in parsley. Serve with chicken.
