1. Position a rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to 350ºF. 2. Lightly butter a 10 by 15 inch baking sheet. Using a flat meat pounder or a rolling pin, pound each chicken breast between two sheets of moistened waxed paper to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. 3. Divide cheese evenly among breasts, placing in center. 4. Fold in sides of breasts, then roll up into thick cylinders. 5. Place breasts in the prepared pan. Brush with oil, then pour wine over breasts. 6. Season with salt and pepper. 7. Bake, basting occasionally with wine, until breasts are cooked through (a meat thermometer inserted into the center of a breast will read 165ºF. ), about 35 minutes. Cool completely. (The breasts can be prepared up to 1 day ahead, cooled, covered and refrigerated.) 8. Meanwhile, make the sweet red pepper sauce. In a medium saucepan, bring red peppers, cream and stock to a simmer over medium heat. Cover and cook until peppers are tender, about 15 minutes. Uncover and cook until liquid is reduced to about 1/2 cup, 10 to 15 minutes. 9. Transfer to a food processor fitted with the metal blade (or in batches to a blender) and process until smooth. Season with salt and hot pepper sauce to taste. 10. Transfer to a medium bowl and cool completely. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours (the sauce can be prepared up to 2 days ahead, cooled, covered and refrigerated.) 11. Using a sharp, thin-bladed knife, cut breasts diagonally into 3/4-inch thick slices. Arrange slices, slightly overlapping, on a platter. (Roulades can be sliced and arranged up to 4 hours ahead. Cover platter tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate.) Spoon a dollop of red pepper sauce onto each breast and serve chilled.
