Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
2 cups breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper to taste
Oil for frying
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, mix the softened butter, garlic, parsley, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness.
Take a portion of the garlic herb butter and place it in the center of each chicken breast. Fold the sides over and roll tightly, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
Coat each chicken roll in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and then coat with breadcrumbs.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the chicken rolls until golden brown on all sides.
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, then serve hot.
Notes
Make sure the butter is softened for easy mixing.
You can prepare the garlic herb butter in advance and refrigerate it.
For a healthier option, you can bake the chicken instead of frying.
