2this is one of my best recipes.
3It can be made a day ahead of time.
4Then when you have your guests in you will be free to be with them.
5Do not overcook this recipe!
6remove bones and skin from chicken.
7Place each piece between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound with wooden mallet to flatten into cutlets about 1/8 inch thick.
8Whip butter until foamy add oregano, marjoram and parsley.
9Cut cheese into 8 pieces.
10Spread herb butter mixture on cheese (using about half of butter mixture).
11Place a piece of cheese on each cutlet and roll up as for jelly roll tucking in ends to seal tightly.
12Coat rolls with flour; dip in egg then woll in bread crumbe.
13Place in flat baking dish and bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
14meanwhile melt remaining butter mixture; stir in wine and pour over chicken.
15Continue baking, basting ocasionally for about 15 minutes longer, until chicken is tolden brown and tender.
16Be careful not to overcook or it will be dry.
17the secret of pounding the chicken is to pound from the center of the breast outward.
18Just like you would do if your were rolling pie dough.
19Sometime you have to do this twice becauce the chicken goes back to its original position.
20I pound, roll, flour, dunk ect.
21The breasts one or two at a time for this reason.
