Instructions

  1. Combine the butter, onion, parsley, garlic powder, tarragon, and pepper. Shape into six pencil-thin strips and freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.

  2. Flatten each chicken breast to 1/4 inch. Place one butter strip in the center, fold the long sides over, fold the ends up, and secure with a toothpick.

  3. Beat the egg with the milk. Place the coating mix in another bowl. Dip the chicken in egg, then roll in the coating.

  4. Place seam side down in a greased 9x13-inch baking pan. Bake uncovered at 425°F until the juices run clear and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

  5. Remove the toothpicks before serving.

Tips

  • Freeze the butter strips so they stay inside while baking.
  • Seal the chicken well so the butter does not leak.

Variations

  • Fry instead of baking for a crispier crust.
