Start by preparing the garlic herb butter: In a small bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped dill, chopped parsley, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined.
Place the butter mixture on a small piece of plastic wrap and shape it into a log. Wrap tightly and place in the freezer to harden for 15-20 minutes.
Prepare the chicken: Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Remove the hardened butter from the freezer and cut it into two equal portions. Insert a portion into each chicken breast pocket.
Seal the edges of the chicken breasts using toothpicks to ensure the butter stays inside during cooking.
In a shallow dish, place the gluten-free flour. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. In a third shallow dish, spread the gluten-free breadcrumbs.
Dip each chicken breast first into the flour, then the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumbs, ensuring an even cover on all sides.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Add the coated chicken breasts and cook on each side until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Gluten-Free Kyiv Cutlet hot, with your choice of side dishes such as mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad.
