Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a bowl, combine the softened butter, chopped parsley, chopped dill, minced garlic, salt, and half of the black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Place the butter mixture on a piece of plastic wrap and shape it into a small log. Freeze the herb butter for about 10-15 minutes until it is firm.
While the butter firms up, prepare the chicken breasts by placing each one between two pieces of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to gently pound them to a uniform thickness, being careful not to tear the meat.
Once the herb butter is firm, remove it from the freezer. Divide it into two equal portions.
Place a portion of the herb butter in the center of each chicken breast. Fold the sides over the butter, then roll it up tightly to encase the butter completely. Use toothpicks to secure the chicken if necessary.
Prepare the breading by combining almond flour, grated Parmesan, and the remaining black pepper in a shallow dish.
In another dish, beat the eggs gently.
Dip each chicken roll in the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated, then roll it in the almond flour mixture. Press gently to adhere the coating to the chicken.
In an oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken rolls and sear on each side until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
Allow the cutlets to rest for a few minutes before removing the toothpicks. Serve hot and enjoy your Keto Kyiv Cutlet!
