Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 100 grams All-purpose flour
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 150 grams Breadcrumbs
- 500 milliliters Vegetable oil
Instructions
1. Prepare the herb butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
2. Roll the herb butter into a log shape using plastic wrap, then chill it in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to firm up.
3. While the butter is chilling, prepare the chicken breasts: Place each breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.
4. Once the butter is firm, cut it into four equal parts.
5. Place one portion of the herb butter in the center of each chicken breast. Fold the sides over the butter and then roll up the chicken tightly to enclose the butter completely. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
6. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, another with beaten eggs, and the third with breadcrumbs.
7. Dredge each chicken roll in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
8. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
9. Carefully add the chicken rolls to the hot oil and cook, turning occasionally, until golden brown on all sides, about 10-12 minutes.
10. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and finish in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 5-10 minutes to ensure the chicken is cooked through and the butter is melted.
11. Remove toothpicks, if used, and serve immediately while hot and crispy, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
