Start by roughly chopping the mushrooms to create a tasty and homogeneous filling.
Cut the slices of foie gras into thin sticks to facilitate their incorporation into the filling.
Place the chicken fillets on plastic wrap, ready to be stuffed and rolled to form the ballotines.
Spread the mushroom and foie gras filling over the chicken, then wrap it tightly with the plastic.
Poach the ballotines in a gently simmering vegetable broth for about 10 to 12 minutes.
Carefully remove them, let them rest for a moment and then remove the plastic wrap before serving.
