Garlic Butter Stuffed Chicken

Did you know that garlic is a natural blood thinner?  I need to eat more garlic. Via BuzzFeed.

Garlic Butter-Stuffed Chicken

INGREDIENTS
  • ½ cup butter, room temperature
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (that doesn't seem like nearly enough garlic)
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup flour
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups panko bread crumbs
  • Oil, for frying
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

PREPARATION
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, add the butter, garlic, and parsley and mix until fully combined.
  3. Shape butter into a log and wrap in plastic wrap. Freeze for 15 minutes.
  4. On a cutting board, slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally.
  5. Wrap in plastic wrap and pound until the chicken is ⅛-inch thick.
  6. Divide the butter into fourths.
  7. Place a portion of butter on the flattened chicken breast and roll it up, creating a log. 
  8. Coat the rolled chicken in flour followed, by eggs and bread crumbs. Repeat once more. 
  9. Cover the chicken in plastic wrap and chill while oil is heating.
  10. Fry in oil for 3-4 minutes, until edges are golden brown.
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
  12. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
