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