Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Filling

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Breading

  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten

Additional

  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Vegetable oil, for frying (about 1/2 cup)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are about 1/2 inch thick for even cooking and easy rolling.
  2. Make Garlic Herb Butter: In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with minced garlic, finely chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well blended to make a flavorful garlic butter filling.
  3. Stuff and Roll Chicken: Spoon an equal amount of the garlic herb butter mixture onto the center of each flattened chicken breast. Fold the edges over the filling and tightly roll the chicken to enclose the butter completely, securing the rolls if necessary with toothpicks.
  4. Set up Breading Station: Arrange three shallow dishes: one with all-purpose flour seasoned with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs. Coat each chicken roll first in the flour, then dip into the egg, and finally press into the breadcrumbs ensuring an even and thorough coating.
  5. Pan-fry the Chicken Rolls: Heat about 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken rolls and fry each side for approximately 4 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy, turning gently to avoid breaking the coating.
  6. Bake to Finish: Transfer the browned chicken rolls to a baking dish. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), ensuring the chicken is fully cooked and the butter inside is melted.
  7. Serve: Remove toothpicks if used. Drizzle with fresh lemon juice before serving to add a bright, tangy flavor. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.

Notes

  • Use plastic wrap to prevent tearing the chicken while pounding.
  • Chilling the stuffed chicken rolls briefly before breading can help maintain their shape.
  • Make sure to seal the butter completely inside to avoid leakage during cooking.
  • Check oil temperature carefully to prevent burning the breadcrumbs.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
