Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC).
-
In a small bowl, combine the dried parsley, freeze-dried chives, and garlic powder; set aside.
-
Place chicken breasts between two sheets of waxed paper or plastic wrap and gently pound with a mallet or rolling pin to an even 1/4-inch thickness.
-
Sprinkle both sides of each chicken breast lightly with salt and pepper.
-
Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the parsley-chive mixture on one side of each chicken piece.
-
Place one slice of butter in the center of each piece of chicken.
-
Starting from the bottom, roll the chicken tightly around the butter, tucking in the sides as you roll to seal the filling.
-
Coat a medium-sized muffin tin with nonstick vegetable spray. Place the chicken rolls seam-side down into the muffin cups.
-
Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of the seasoned bread crumbs and a pinch of paprika over each roll.
-
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
-
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.

Note
Ensure the butter is cold but pliable so it doesn't leak out during baking. If the butter is too soft, chill it briefly before assembling.
To prevent the rolls from unraveling, you can secure them with toothpicks before baking. Remove toothpicks before serving.
For a crispier exterior, you can broil the rolls for the last 2-3 minutes of baking, watching closely to prevent burning.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a 300ðF oven to prevent drying out.
