- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- 100g unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- oil for frying
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a bowl, mix the softened butter with garlic, parsley, dill, and lemon juice. Place the mixture on a piece of plastic wrap, shape it into a log, and freeze for 30 minutes.
- While the butter is chilling, prepare the chicken breasts by placing them between two sheets of plastic wrap and pounding them to an even thickness.
- Remove the butter from the freezer and cut it into slices. Place a slice in the center of each chicken breast and fold the edges over to seal.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and fry the chicken until golden brown on both sides.
- Transfer the fried chicken to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
- Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like thyme or tarragon to the butter mixture.
- Ensure the chicken is sealed well to prevent the butter from leaking during cooking.
