* 5 Tbsp. butter, softened, divided
* 1/2 tsp. minced chives

1. In a small bowl, combine 3 Tbsp. butter, chives, garlic powder and pepper; shape into four cubes. Cover and freeze until firm, about 10 min.
2. Flatten chicken breast halves to 1/4-in. thickness. Place a butter cube in the center of each. Fold long sides over butter; fold ends up and secure with a toothpick.
3. In a shallow bowl, combine the cornflakes, Parmesan cheese, parsley and paprika. Melt remaining butter. Dip chicken into butter; coat evenly with cornflake mixture. Place seam side down in a microwave-safe dish.
4. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 5-6 min. or until chicken juices run clear and a meat thermometer reads 170°. Remove toothpicks. Drizzle chicken with pan drippings if desired.
