Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lay chicken breasts flat and pound to about 1/2 inch thick for even cooking.
- In a bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Place about 2 tablespoons of the herb butter mixture in the center of each chicken breast. Fold and roll tightly; secure with toothpicks if needed.
- Set up a dredging station with flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and panko in a third. Coat each chicken roll first in flour, then dip in egg wash, and finally coat with panko crumbs.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken rolls for about 5-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Rest for a few minutes before slicing open to reveal the melted butter inside. Serve hot.
