Ingredients
Serves 4
- 4 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon snipped fresh chives
- 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (4 ounces each)

Meanwhile, pound each chicken breast to 1/4-inch thickness; place 1 butter log on top. Roll to enclose butter; secure with a toothpick. Mix crumbs and Parmesan in a shallow bowl.
3
Coat chicken bundles in flour; dip in egg. Roll bundles in bread crumb mixture. Place on a plate lined with waxed paper. Chill, covered, until coating is firm.

Chopping parsley will be much faster and easier if you make sure the leaves are thoroughly dry before cutting because wet parsley will stick to the knife.
Great Pairings
Caesar Scalloped Potatoes
If you do not have Parmesan cheese on hand, you can substitute Swiss cheese instead. You will save money and create a family pleaser that gives the scalloped potatoes an extra tang.
