Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley (finely chopped)
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs (beaten)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix softened butter with minced garlic and parsley until well combined.
  2. 2. Shape the Chicken: Pound the chicken breasts between plastic wrap to about 1/2 inch thick for even cooking.
  3. 3. Add the Filling: Spoon filling onto one side of each breast, roll tightly, and secure with toothpicks or twine.
  4. 4. Bread the Chicken: Set up three bowls with flour (seasoned), beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs. Dredge each roll in flour, dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.
  5. 5. Cook Them Up: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken rolls seam-side down until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes per side).
  6. 6. Bake for Perfection: Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 375°F for about 15 minutes until cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
