Description
A classic chicken dish featuring juicy chicken breasts stuffed with garlic butter, then breaded and fried to golden perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Mix butter, garlic, and parsley in a bowl. Shape into 4 small logs and freeze for 10 minutes.
- Cut a pocket into each chicken breast and stuff with a butter log. Seal the edges.
- Season chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Dredge each breast in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat in breadcrumbs.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side.

- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F internally.
