Step 1

In a bowl, combine the butter, chives, parsley, salt and pepper. Shape into a 6 inch x 2 inch rectangle; place on waxed paper. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Flatten chicken to ¼ inch thickness. Cut butter mixture into 6 strips; place one strip in the center of each chicken breast half. Roll up each and tuck in ends; secure with toothpick. Place the flour in a shallow bowl. In another bowl, beat egg and orange juice. In a third bowl, combine bread crumbs and orange peel. Coat chicken with the flour, dip in egg mixture, then roll in crumb mixture. Place seam side down on a greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish. Bake uncovered at 375 for 35-40 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Discard toothpicks before serving.
