Ingredients

  • 0.3 cup butter softened
  • teaspoon dill dried
  • 0.5 cup breadcrumbs dry
  •  eggs 
  • 0.5 cup flour all-purpose
  • 0.3 cup parsley fresh chopped
  • 0.3 teaspoon garlic powder 
  • 0.3 teaspoon pepper black
  • 0.5  optional: lemon sliced
  • ounce chicken breast halves boneless skinless
  • cups vegetable oil 
  • tablespoons water 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • paper towels
  • toothpicks
  • aluminum foil
  • wax paper
  • rolling pin

Directions

  1. Place each chicken breast between a sheet of wax paper and pound, using a mallet or rolling pin, to about 1/8 inch thickness; be careful not to 'break' the chicken. Wrap and refrigerate until seasoned butter is frozen.
  2. To Make Seasoned Butter: In a small bowl combine the softened butter, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1 teaspoon garlic powder and mix well.
  3. Spread mixture into a 2x4 inch rectangle on a piece of aluminum foil; freeze until firm.
  4. When butter is firm, cut into 8 equal size pieces and place one piece on each chicken breast. Fold in edges of chicken and roll to encase butter completely. Secure with toothpicks.
  5. In a small bowl, beat eggs with water. In a shallow dish or bowl, mix together the 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, dill weed and flour.
  6. Place bread crumbs in a separate shallow dish or bowl. Dip chicken rolls in seasoned flour, then egg mixture, then crumbs.
  7. Place coated chicken in a shallow dish, cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  8. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. When oil is hot, deep fry chicken rolls for about 5 minutes, then turn over and deep fry for another 5 minutes until golden and cooked through, with no pink showing inside.
  9. Drain on paper towels, garnish with lemon slices and parsley and serve.
