Chicken Breasts, Orange Stuffed - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
    salt
    pepper
    1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
    1 tablespoon unsalted butter
    1 orange, peeled, sectioned, cubed
    1/2 cup golden raisin
    1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
    1/2 teaspoon thyme
    1 egg
    1/4 cup milk
    1 cup dry breadcrumbs
    1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
Preparation
    Place breast halves, one at a time, between plastic wrap & using a rolling pin or the flat side of a meat mallet, flatten each piece until it is about 1/4\" thick.
    Pull off the wrap & sprinkle lightly with salt & pepper, if desired.
    In a small skillet, saute the onion in 1 Tbsp of butter until tender. Stir in the cubed orange, raisins, 1/4 cup of bread crumbs & thyme.
    Spread each breast evenly with the orange & crumb mixture, then roll up each breast with the stuffing inside. Tuck in the ends to help seal.
    Beat together the egg & milk, then dip the rolled up breasts into the egg mixture. Roll each breast carefully in the 1 cup of dry bread crumbs, & place in a baking dish with high sides. Cover loosely & refrigerate 30 minutes or until ready to bake.
    Preheat oven to 425 degrees F, & bake for 30 minutes until golden brown, basking several times with the melted butter during the last 15 minutes of baking time.
