2. Pound the chicken breast as thin as you can get it (about 1/8” to ¼” thick) being very careful not to to tear the chicken. It should be thinner on the edges which will help to seal the chicken and prevent butter from oozing out when cooking. Peel off the wax paper.
3. Sprinkle one side of the chicken with salt and pepper.
4. Cut the butter into 4 or 5 equal pieces.
5. Place one piece of butter in the center of the chicken breast
6. Fold two sides down over the butter. Fold in the other end of the chicken breast and roll up the rest of the way.
