Combine first 6 ingredients in a small bowl; stir until blended. Shape butter mixture into a 3-inch stick; cover and freeze about 45 minutes or until firm.

Cut herb butter into 6 pats; place 1 pat in center of each chicken breast. Fold long sides of breast over butter; fold ends over, and secure with wooden picks.
Combine egg and water, beating well. Dredge each piece of chicken in flour; dip in egg mixture, and dredge in breadcrumbs.
