Ingredients
  • 2 Chicken breasts
  • 1 Egg
  • 4 cloves Garlic minced
  • 100 gm Butter softened
  • 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp Cornflour optional, for extra crispiness
  • Bread crumbs as needed
  • 1 tbsp Fresh parsley finely chopped
  • ¼ tsp Black pepper powder
  • ¼ tsp White pepper powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for shallow frying
Cooking Method
  1. Cut each chicken breast horizontally to create a "book" shape. Flatten slightly and season with salt, black pepper, and white pepper.
  2. Combine softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Divide into two equal portions and shape into small logs. Chill in the refrigerator or freezer for 10-15 minutes.
  3. In one bowl, whisk together flour, cornflour (if using), egg, black pepper, white pepper, and salt. Place breadcrumbs in another shallow dish.
  4. Place a chilled butter log in the center of each chicken breast. Fold the chicken around the butter, sealing the edges.
  5. Dredge each stuffed chicken breast in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
  6. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Shallow fry the chicken for 8-10 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Remove from skillet and let rest on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate for a few minutes before serving.
