Ingredients

• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 4 Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• 100 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 150 grams Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, mash the butter with a fork until smooth. Mix in the parsley, dill, garlic, salt, and black pepper until the herbs are evenly distributed.

Step 3

Shape the herb butter into a log, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and freeze for 15-20 minutes or until firm.

Step 4

Using a sharp knife, make a deep pocket in the thickest part of each chicken breast. Be careful not to cut through the other side.

Step 5

Slice the chilled herb butter log into 4 equal portions. Insert one slice into the pocket of each chicken breast and gently press the edges closed to seal.

Step 6

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the flour. In the second dish, beat the eggs with the milk. In the third dish, add the breadcrumbs.

Step 7

Dust each chicken breast in the flour, dip it into the egg mixture, and then coat it thoroughly with breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick well.

Step 8

Place the breaded chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the tops with olive oil for a crispy finish.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F).

Step 10

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices and butter to settle inside. Serve warm with steamed vegetables or a light side salad.
