Ingredients

  • 6 chicken boneless, skinless
  • 8 ounce cream cheese softened
  • 1 Tablespoons minced chives
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 cups Panko
  • 2 Tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • ½ teaspoons paprika
  • cups buttermilk

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, chives and garlic. Shape it into a 3-in. x 2-in. rectangle. Cover and freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Flatten each chicken breast to 1/4-in. thickness using a meat tenderizer mallet or something similar.
  • When the cream cheese mixture is solid again, cut the cream cheese into six equal sized pieces. I usually place the cream cheese mixture in a plastic butter container (but you could even use an ice cube tray) and then I just slice them like I would a pat of butter.
  • Place one piece in the center of each chicken breast. Fold the short sides over the cream cheese piece and then fold long sides over and secure with a toothpick or two (or three in some cases).
  • In a shallow bowl, combine the panko, parsley and paprika.
  • In another bowl, place the buttermilk.
  • Begin by dipping each chicken "package" into the buttermilk and then coat it with the panko mixture.
  • Once you have each chicken thoroughly coated, place them into a 13" x 9" baking dish with the seam side of the chicken face down.
  • Bake, uncovered, at 425° for about 35-40 minutes or until the middle is no longer pink.
  • Remove the toothpicks before serving.
