Ingredients

• 1 egg
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ¼ teaspoon dried basil
• 1 cup chicken broth
• ¼ teaspoon dried sage
• 2 tablespoons chopped onion
• ¾ cup dry bread crumbs
• ½ teaspoon chopped parsley
• 4 cups bread cubes
• 7 tablespoons butter, divided
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine bread crumbs, 1/2 teaspoon parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, paprika, basil, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a shallow bowl.

Step 2

Put 3 tablespoons butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until melted, about 30 seconds. Whisk together with egg in a shallow bowl.

Step 3

Dip each piece of chicken in butter mixture; coat well with breading. Place on a plate.

Step 4

Combine remaining 4 tablespoons butter and chopped onion in a microwave-safe, 10-inch pie plate. Cook in the microwave on high until tender, 1 to 3 minutes. Add broth and cook in the microwave until boiling, 2 to 4 minutes. Stir in bread cubes, 2 tablespoons parsley, 1/2 teaspoon salt, sage, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix stuffing until moist.

Step 5

Divide stuffing into 4 mounds arranged around the edge of the pie plate. Top each mound with a breaded chicken cutlet, leaving center of plate empty. Cover pie plate with a paper towel.

Step 6

Cook in the microwave on high until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
