Herb Butter Chicken Roll - By Chef Manoj Rathore

Ingredients:

For the Herb Butter:

- 1 stick of Salted Butter, softened

- 1/4 cup Finely Minced Fresh Parsley

- 1 Garlic Clove, finely minced

- Zest and Juice of 1/2 Lemon

- Salt and Pepper, to taste

For the Chicken:

- 4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts

- 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour

- 2 Large Eggs

- 1 cup Breadcrumbs

- Salt and Pepper, to taste

- Oil for frying

Method:

1. In a bowl, mix together softened butter, minced parsley, minced garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Place the mixture in the freezer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until very firm.

2. Place each chicken breast between two pieces of cling film. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken until it is of even thickness. Set aside.

3. Once the butter mixture is chilled and firm, divide it into 4 equal-sized pieces.

4. Remove the top layer of cling film from each chicken breast. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then place one piece of the chilled herb butter in the center of each chicken breast. Roll up the chicken tightly around the butter, ensuring it is sealed tightly. Twist the ends of the cling film to further secure the chicken roll. Freeze the chicken rolls for 15 to 20 minutes, or until firm.

5. Prepare three shallow bowls for the standard breading procedure: one with seasoned flour, one with whisked eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

6. Remove the chicken rolls from the freezer and discard the cling film. Coat each chicken roll in the seasoned flour, then dip it in the whisked eggs, and finally coat it evenly with breadcrumbs. Repeat the breading process for all the chicken rolls.

7. Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry the breaded chicken rolls in the hot oil for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

8. Once cooked, remove the chicken rolls from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let them rest for 2 to 3 minutes before slicing and serving.
