Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, combine the ghee, chopped parsley, chopped dill, and minced garlic. Mix well to create a herbed ghee mixture.
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of parchment paper and pound them to a thickness of about 1/4 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Place 2 tablespoons of the herbed ghee mixture in the center of each chicken breast.
Roll the chicken breast starting from the thicker end, tucking in the sides as you roll to fully encase the ghee mixture. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
In a shallow dish, mix together almond flour, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
In a third dish, place the coconut flour.
Dredge each rolled chicken breast first in coconut flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the almond flour mixture.
Heat olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat.
Add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Remove any toothpicks if used, and serve warm.
