Begin by preparing the garlic and herb butter. Finely mince the garlic and chop the parsley and dill.
In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
Divide the butter mixture into four portions and shape them into logs or small discs. Place the butter portions in the freezer to harden for about 10-15 minutes.
While the butter is chilling, prepare the chicken breasts. Use a sharp knife to carefully cut a pocket horizontally into each breast without slicing all the way through.
Place one portion of the chilled herb butter into the pocket of each chicken breast. Fold the edges of the chicken over, sealing the butter inside. Use toothpicks to secure if needed.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour and grated Parmesan cheese.
Beat the eggs in another shallow dish.
Dip each stuffed chicken breast first in the egg, allowing any excess to drip off, and then roll it in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet and brown on both sides until golden, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
Remove the toothpicks before serving and enjoy your delicious low carb Kyiv cutlet.
