Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 4 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
- ¼ cup fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 1 lemon (juiced)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs (beaten)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, and lemon juice until well blended. Set aside.
- Pat chicken breasts dry and slice them horizontally to create pockets; season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Stuff each pocket with the garlic herb butter mixture and seal with toothpicks.
- Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs. Dredge each stuffed chicken breast in flour, dip in eggs, then coat with panko.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place coated chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet; spray lightly with cooking spray. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before serving; drizzle remaining garlic herb butter on top.
