Making the chicken roulades

  2. flatten each chicken breast with a rolling pin between two sheets of waxed paper so they are of an even thickness;
  3. place a thin layer of mushroom mousse on each flattened breast; roll up on the wide side; tie with string; 
  4. in a skillet, heat 5 ml (1 tsp.) oil over medium-high heat and brown the rolls on all sides; place in an ovenproof dish;

  6. remove and keep warm. 

Making the sauce 

  1. pour the chicken broth into the baking dish; with a wooden spoon, loosen any browned bits from the bottom; 
  2. pour the cooking juices and vegetables into a saucepan; 
  3. reduce the liquid by a third; 
  4. liquefy the vegetables and cooking liquid in a blender to make a smooth sauce; strain if necessary; 
  5. add the beet and cranberry jelly to the sauce and heat over medium heat; reduce by half and keep warm. 

Serving

  1. blanch and drain the apple slices; 
  2. in a skillet, heat 5 ml (1 tsp.) oil and brown the apple slices on both sides; add a little nutmeg and set aside; 
  3. slice each chicken roulade into 4;
