Party Chicken for a Crowd

Pulled from Nana's files, a twist on Chicken Kiev, using cream cheese instead of butter for the filling. Doesn't ooze out too much and tastes great. I like serving it with broccoli sauteed in garlic oil and red pepper flakes.
Ingredients
- 1/2 boneless skinless chicken breast per person (12) shopping list
- 2 packages of cream cheese, (8 ounce each) shopping list
- 3 tbsp of green peppercorns crushed shopping list
- 1 1/2 tbsp of dried parsley shopping list
- 1 1/2 tbsp of tarragon shopping list
- 2 teaspoon of salt shopping list
- 1 tsp of grated lemon zest shopping list
- 3 eggs shopping list
- 3 tbsp of water shopping list
- seasoned bread crumbs (mom used Italian blend crumbs) shopping list
- 3/4 cup of melted butter shopping list
How to make it
- Flatten each chicken breast with the flat side of a mallet until it is equally thin and malleable.
- Mix the cream cheese with the slightly crushed green peppercorns, parsley, tarragon, salt and lemon zest. Mix well and divide into 12 equal portions.
- (I roll it into a cylinder on wax paper, chill and then cut in equal pieces)
- Put a piece of chilled cream cheese in the center of a chicken breast half, roll the flattened chicken breast around the cheese tucking in the sides to form a neat little bundles. It should stick together because of the cheese.
- Now dip it in the eggs mixed with the water, then into the seasoned bread crumbs.
- Now you must refrigerate this covered for at least 30 minutes.
- It will cook better if it starts out good and cold..
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place chicken bundles in an oiled baking dish, pour melted butter over all and back uncovered for 35 minutes. Do not turn.
