Ingredients
4 Servings
- 120 g all-purpose flour
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- 240 g breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp salt
- 110 g unsalted butter
- 480 ml vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix together the softened butter, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until well combined. Shape the mixture into 4 equal portions and refrigerate until firm.
Step 3
Place one portion of the butter mixture in the center of each chicken breast. Fold the sides over the butter and roll up tightly, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
Step 4
Dredge the chicken rolls in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs. Make sure the chicken is well-coated on all sides.
Step 5
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or fryer to 175°C (350°F). Fry the chicken rolls until golden brown and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
Step 6
Drain the chicken on paper towels and remove the toothpicks. Serve hot.
