Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, room temperature
- 4 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
- 4 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 Large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup Plain breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup Avocado oil or neutral oil
Instructions
- Pound chicken breasts evenly to 1/2-inch thickness.
- Season butter with salt, garlic, parsley, and lemon juice.
- Spread butter mixture evenly down the center of each chicken breast.
- Fold chicken over filling and secure with toothpicks.
- Coat chicken in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then press into breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil in an oven-safe skillet; place chicken in the hot skillet and transfer to the oven.
- Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes until golden and cooked through.
Notes
Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy mixing. Don’t skip the toothpicks; they help keep the filling inside while cooking. For extra crunch, double-coat the chicken by dipping it in egg and breadcrumbs twice.
