QUICK AND EASY CHICKEN KIEV

4 tbsps butter, softened to room temperature
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp snipped fresh chives
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
3/4 cup flour
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup vegetable oil

In a small bowl, mix butter, parsley, chives, and garlic. Divide the mixture evenly into fourths. Roll each fourth into a log and place logs on a piece of waxed paper. Cover logs and chill until firm. While the logs chill, pound the chicken breasts to 1/4-inch thick. Place one butter log atop each chicken breast. Roll up to enclose the butter log. Secure with a toothpick. In a shallow bowl, mix the bread crumbs with the Parmesan cheese. Coat the chicken bundles in flour, dip in egg and roll in the bread crumb mixture. Place on a waxed paper lined plate and cover. Chill until the coating is firm. (Just a few minutes.) Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to skillet. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, turning to brown all around. This will take about 10 minutes.

Note: If you do not have fresh herbs, you can use the dried ones by using only 1/2 the amount listed.

Enjoy!
