Preheat oven to 375°F.
Slice the boneless chicken 1/3 way through, crosswise at an angle in four places.
Slice the golden delicious apple into 16 pieces, as you would an apple pie, and dip pieces into a mixture of 1 tbsp. brown sugar, 1 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. powdered aniseseed just before assembling.
Insert apple slices into slits in chicken. Mix remaining apple mixture into crumbs.
Dip chicken breasts into beaten egg and then into crumbs and place on cookie sheet and drizzle with melted butter.
Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until juices run clear and crumbs are golden brown.
