Preparation

Prepare the Chicken Ballotine

1. Roll the Chicken

Lay the chicken thighs flat and season with salt and black pepper. Lay slices of pancetta on top, then spread the mushroom and sage duxelles over the pancetta. Roll the chicken tightly and secure with kitchen twine.

2. Cook the Ballotine

Sear the rolled chicken in a hot skillet until browned on all sides. Transfer to a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) and bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through.

Make the Carrot Butterscotch

3. Cook the Carrots

In a saucepan, combine carrots, brown sugar, butter, and vegetable stock. Simmer until the carrots are tender and the mixture thickens. Blend until smooth and season with salt.

Prepare the Brussels Sprouts and New Potatoes

4. Roast the Vegetables

Toss Brussels sprouts and new potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven at 200°C (400°F) for 25-30 minutes until golden and tender.

Make the Crispy Kale

5. Bake the Kale

Toss kale leaves with olive oil and salt. Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 150°C (300°F) for about 10-15 minutes until crispy.

Prepare the Tarragon Vinaigrette

6. Mix the Vinaigrette

Whisk together tarragon, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a bowl until emulsified.
