In a bowl, combine the butter, chives, parsley, salt and pepper. Shape into a 6 x 2 inch rectangle; place on waxed paper. Freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.

Flatten chicken to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut butter mixture into six strips; place one strip in the center of each chicken breast half. Roll up each and tuck in the ends; secure with a toothpick.

Place the flour in a shallow bowl. In another bowl, beat egg and orange juice. In a third bowl, comvine breadcrumbs and orange peel. Coat chicken with flour, dip in egg mixture, then roll in crumb mixture. Place seam side down in a greased 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish.

Bake, uncovered, at 375 for 35-40 minutes or until chicken juices run clear.
