The chicken:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Spread one side of every chicken breast half with Dijon. Place two prunes in the center of the mustard coated side and roll the chicken up. Wrap the bacon around each chicken breast and secure with a toothpick.
Place the chicken pieces in a baking pan and bake for 35 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the toothpicks and serve with a gravy.
The gravy:
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and oil. Add the flour and stir for a minute. Add the stock and stir until the gravy has boiled and thickened. Squeeze some lemon juice into it. If needed, add some salt.
