Preparation

  1. Pound the 4 chicken breasts until thin. Mix the 1/4 lb butter, 1/2 cup green onion, and 1/2 cup parsley together, then place a portion in the center of each breast.
  2. Roll the chicken tightly to enclose the butter, securing with toothpicks if necessary.
  3. Dredge each roll in flour, dip into the 2 eggs, and coat thoroughly with 1 cup bread crumbs.
  4. Fry in hot oil until the coating is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, ensuring the butter is melted inside.

💡 Make-Ahead & Storage: The stuffed chicken rolls can be prepared and refrigerated for up to 2 hours before breading and frying to help them hold their shape.
