½ cup butter,
4 cloves garlic,
2 teaspoons dried parsley,
½ teaspoon salt
Cover the pieces of chicken with parchment paper, wax paper or plastic wrap.
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Use the meat tenderizer to pound the chicken out until it is a uniform thickness of about ¼-inch.
Sprinkle both sides of the chicken lightly with salt.
Spread a layer of the butter mixture over the chicken pieces, leaving a little left over to be used later.
Roll up the chicken starting from the smallest end.
Insert a couple of toothpicks along the seam to keep the ends closed.
Spread a little more of the butter mixture to the top of the rolled up chicken breasts.
Bake on a baking sheet for 30 minutes.
Remove the toothpicks while the chicken is still warm.
Notes
Substitute dried basil, thyme or oregano for a different flavor.
If you like cheese, you can sprinkle some grated parmesan or mozzarella on top of the butter layer before rolling up the chicken breasts.
