Preparation

Step 1

Rinse chicken; pat dry. Place each breast half, boned side up, between two pieces of clear plastic wrap. Working from the center to the edges, pound lightly with the flat side of a meat mallet to 1/6 inch thickness. Remove plastic wrap. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Combine onion, parsley and garlic; sprinkle on chicken.
Cut chilled butter into four 2 1/2 x 1/2 sticks. Place one piece in the center of each chicken piece. Fold in sides; roll up jelly roll style, pressing edges to seal. Stir together egg and 1 Tbs water. Coat rolls with flour, dip into egg mixture, then coat with crumbs. Cover; chill for 1 to 24 hours.
In a large skillet melt 1 tbs butter; add oil. Add chilled chicken rolls; cook over medium high heat about 5 minutes or till golden brown, turning to brown all sides. Transfer to 12x7 1/2 x2 inch baking dish. Bake at 400 degrees oven for 15 to 18 minutes or till no longer pink. Spoon drippings over rolls.
