Add chicken to the bag, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat. , In a large skillet, cook chicken in oil over medium heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until juices run clear. Remove and keep warm. Stir wine or broth into the pan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 6-8 minutes or until reduced by half. Stir in the broth, mustard and lemon zest. , Place reserved flour mixture in a small bowl; stir in milk until smooth. Stir into broth mixture. Bring to a boil.

GRILLED BASIL-MARINATED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Whisk together the oil, vinegar, basil, onion, salt, peppercorns, and garlic in a bowl. Transfer the marinade to a gallon-sized sealable plastic bag with the chicken and shake to combine. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours and up to 12 hours.

• Remove chicken from the marinade. Grill the chicken, turning once, until browned and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a platter and garnish with the basil sprigs.

CHICKEN AND BASIL ROULADES WITH MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• SAUCE:.
• Mix 1/2 cup plain yogurt, 1 T. Dijon mustard and 2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives together. Set aside.
• ROULADES:.
• Chop chives and basil separately.
• Pound chicken breasts to uniform 1/2 inch thickness. (This is easily done by putting them one at a time into a plastic bag and whacking them with a rolling pin, the side of a meat mallet or something equally heavy and smooth-surfaced.).
• Take one chicken breast and sprinkle some chopped basil on top. Season with salt and pepper. Roll up and secure with toothpick or cooking twine.
• Repeat with each remaining chicken breast.
• Mix 1/3 cup plain yogurt and 1 teaspoons Dijon mustard together. Pour onto a plate.
• Mix breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese together. Pour onto a separate plate.
• Roll each roulade in yogurt mixture on plate and then roll in bread crumbs.
• Place roulades in baking dish. Drizzle with melted butter.
• Bake 30 minutes or until golden brown. REMOVE TOOTHPICKS!
• Serve with a dollop of sauce on the side.
• NOTE: I've never tried this without fresh herbs, but I can't imagine the flavor being nearly as yummy. ALSO, use fresh parmesan cheese -- not the stuff in the can.
• For low-carb dieters substitute ground pork rinds for the bread crumbs. You won't notice the difference.

ROASTED CHICKEN ROULADE WITH AMERICAN TRIPLE CREAM AND GEORGIA HAM

Steps:

• For the mustard sauce: Whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard and horseradish in a small bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cover and let sit to allow the flavors to meld while you make the chicken.
• For the chicken roulade: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the canola oil over low heat in a large saute pan. Add the garlic and red chile flakes and cook for 30 seconds. Increase the heat, stir in the baby arugula, season with salt and pepper and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
• Drizzle the chicken breasts with a little oil and thinly pound between 2 sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Put the breasts on a flat surface skin-side down, and sprinkle the top sides with salt and pepper. Place 2 slices of the ham on each breast; spread 2 ounces of the cheese over the ham and then top with one-quarter of the arugula in the center. Roll the breasts tightly and tie with butcher's twine. Sprinkle the roulade with salt and pepper.
• Heat a large ovenproof saute pan over high heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and cook until it begins to shimmer. Put the rolls in the pan seam-side up and add the butter. Cook until golden brown on all sides, about 3 minutes. Transfer the pan to the oven and continue cooking until the breasts are just cooked through and the cheese has melted, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove the rolls to a plate and let rest 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with the mustard sauce and topped with a bit of micro arugula.

BASIL ROASTED CHICKEN WITH GARLIC SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Remove the fat, neck, liver and gizzards from the body cavity, then rinse and pat the chicken dry.
• Gently separate the skin from the flesh, running your fingers from the front to the back of the chicken and along the leg and thigh, being careful not to rip the skin or detach it from the bird.
• Mix the butter, chopped basil, parsley, salt and pepper together in a small bowl.
• Rub half of the butter mixture under the loosened skin and then tuck 1/2 of the whole basil leaves under the skin; be sure to get it under the skin around the leg and thigh.
• Put 4 of the garlic cloves into the body cavity of the chicken and scatter the rest in the roasting pan.
• Add the lemon juice and stock.
• Place the chicken, breast-side up, on top of the garlic and stock.
• Roast in the oven, basting occasionally with the pan juices for 1 hour, or until the juices run clear when the thickest part of the thigh is pierced.
• Transfer the chicken to a heated platter and tent with foil to keep warm.
• Pour the juices with the garlic cloves into a blender and puree the mixture.
• (The garlic skins will remain whole.) Strain the puree through a sieve into a medium-sized saucepan, pressing on the garlic skins with the back of a spoon.
• Bring the liquid to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes, and add salt and pepper to taste.
• Carve the chicken and serve drizzled with the sauce and garnished with fresh basil leaves.
