Preheat your oven to 180°C (355°F).
In a small mixing bowl, combine the butter, finely chopped parsley, dill, minced garlic, and half of the salt. Mix thoroughly to form a uniform herb butter.
Place a piece of plastic wrap over the butter, shape it into a log, and freeze for approximately 10 minutes until firm.
Take the chicken breasts and use a sharp knife to make a deep pocket on the side of each breast.
Slice the firmed herb butter log into two equal portions and insert one piece into each chicken breast pocket. Use toothpicks to secure the openings if necessary.
In a shallow dish, beat the eggs until well combined.
In another shallow dish, mix the almond flour, remaining salt, and black pepper.
Dip each chicken breast in the beaten eggs, then dredge them in the almond flour mixture, ensuring to coat all sides evenly.
Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the chicken breasts and sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Once browned, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
Remove from the oven, let the chicken rest for a few minutes, and then serve hot. Enjoy your sugar-free Chicken Kyiv with a side of your favorite vegetables.
