Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
Place the butter mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Roll it into a log shape, about 2 cm (1 inch) in diameter, and freeze for 15-20 minutes or until firm.
While the butter is chilling, prepare the chicken breasts. Carefully use a sharp knife to create a pocket in each chicken breast by slicing along the thickest part, making sure not to cut through the other side.
Once the butter has hardened, slice the log into small discs. Stuff 1-2 discs of the herbed butter into the pocket of each chicken breast and press the edges to seal it as best as possible.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Season the flour with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Coat each chicken breast first in the flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it evenly with breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs gently to ensure they stick well.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly drizzle or brush each piece with olive oil for an extra golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and has an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Easy Chicken Kiev Baked with a side of steamed vegetables or mashed potatoes.
