   • Turn on your broiler to preheat.
   • Place each chicken breast half between two sheets of waxed paper or plastic wrap. Lightly pound them to flatten evenly.

2. Season and Roll:

   • Generously spread coarse grain mustard on one side of each flattened chicken breast.
   • Roll up the chicken breasts with the mustard inside.

3. Wrap with Bacon:

   • Wrap each rolled chicken breast with 1-2 slices of bacon, depending on size and preference.

4. Broil the Chicken:

   • Place the bacon-wrapped chicken rolls on a broiler pan.
   • Broil the chicken for about 8 minutes on each side, turning once, until the bacon is crisp and the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

5. Rest and Serve:

   • Let the cooked chicken rolls rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
   • Serve hot, with pesto sauce on the side for dipping or drizzling.

Chef’s Tips:

• If you have any leftover chicken pieces after rolling, wrap them with partial bacon slices and cook them alongside the larger rolls. These smaller pieces may cook faster, so monitor them closely to prevent overcooking.
• Ensure the bacon is securely wrapped around the chicken to keep it moist and flavorful.
• Adjust the amount of mustard and bacon according to your taste preferences and dietary needs.
