Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- ½ cup flour
- 2 egg
- 50 g soft butter
- ¼ cup chopped parsley
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoon Dill
- 3 tablespoon chopped chives
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Start by making the garlic butter.
- Peel off 3 garlic cloves and mince them with a garlic presser.
- Chop the parsley , dill and chives.
- Add the soft butter to the harbs and garlic, and mix very well until you get a smooth paste.
- Add the garlic to a kitchen foil, and roll it into a sausage, then freeze it for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove the clingfilm and cut the sausage-shaped butter into slices - any unused butter can be stored in the freezer to be used later on.
- Use a sharp knife to cut a deep pocket into the chicken breasts, then place one or two butter slices inside each pocket and seal the pockets.
- Beat the eggs well, then season with salt and pepper.
- Coat the chicken in flour, shaking any excess flour off, then dip them into the egg mixture, and finally coat in breadcrumbs.
- Add the vegetable oil to a pan and heat it up on a medium heat.
- Place the chicken breasts and fry on both sides for1-2 minutes until golden.
- Remove from the pan and place them on a baking tray.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius (350 Fahrenheit) until cooked through.

Notes
- Once the chicken breasts are coated, set them aside for 5 minutes to dry a bit, that ensure a perfect seal. If the chicken breasts are not sealed well, all the butter will ooze out while cooking.
