Begin by making the dairy-free herb butter. Finely chop the fresh parsley and dill. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a bowl, combine the dairy-free butter substitute, chopped parsley, dill, and minced garlic. Add 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well until smooth.
Place the herb butter on a piece of plastic wrap and form it into a log. Wrap it tightly and place it in the freezer for at least 15 minutes to harden.
While the herb butter chills, prepare the chicken breasts. On a cutting board, carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket without cutting all the way through.
Once the butter is firm, cut the log into four equal pieces.
Stuff each chicken breast pocket with a piece of herb butter and press the edges of the chicken firmly to seal.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the gluten-free flour. In the second dish, beat the eggs with the almond milk. In the third dish, add the gluten-free breadcrumbs.
Season the chicken breasts with the remaining salt and black pepper.
Dip each stuffed chicken breast first into the flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
Fry the chicken breasts, two at a time, for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 75°C (165°F).
Once cooked, place the chicken on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot and enjoy your Dairy-Free Chicken Kyiv!
