Securely seal edges by pounding with meat pounder. Combine butter, garlic, remaining 2 tablespoons chives and ½ teaspoon pepper in small saucepan. Heat over medium-low until butter melts. Remove from heat. Brush chicken liberally with butter mixture. Place chicken on grill over medium coals; grill uncovered 12 to 16 minutes, turning once or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. (Or broil 4 to 5 inches from heat source 10 to 15 minutes, turning once.) At the end of cooking time, place dollop of remaining cheese mixture on each serving. Serve immediately.
