1

Heat oven to 400°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking parchment paper.
2

In 10-inch nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat; stir in bread crumbs. Cook and stir 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from heat; transfer to pie plate or shallow dish. Stir in seasoning; set aside. In small bowl, beat egg; set aside.
3

In another small bowl, mix cream cheese and 3 tablespoons of the chives, mixing well.
4

Cut pocket in each chicken breast by making a horizontal slit along thin long edge, being careful to not cut through to opposite side. Stuff each pocket with about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese filling. Press edges of chicken together to seal, and secure with toothpick.
5

Dip chicken into egg to coat both sides, then dip into bread crumb mixture, pressing to coat chicken completely. Transfer to pan. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F). Let stand 5 minutes. Garnish with remaining 1 tablespoon chopped chives before serving.

Expert Tips

Everything bagel seasoning can be purchased in a jar. If you would like to make a quick and easy version of this seasoning, mix 2 teaspoons each dried chopped onion, dried minced garlic, poppy seed and sesame seed with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Any leftover seasoning mix can be stored covered in a small jar or small resealable food-storage plastic bag to be used on everything from scrambled eggs to cooked vegetables.
Serve chicken with prepared Betty Crocker™ mashed potatoes.
