📝 Preparation Steps

To begin, create the compound butter by mixing the butter with tarragon, parsley, garlic, salt, and cracked black pepper in a bowl until well combined. Roll the butter mixture into small logs using plastic wrap, ensuring they are tightly wrapped, and place them in the fridge to harden.

Meanwhile, prepare the chicken breasts by making a pocket in each breast from the side, being careful not to cut through to the other side. Insert a cold log of the prepared compound butter into each pocket, ensuring it is fully enclosed within the chicken. If necessary, secure the opening with a toothpick.

Next, coat each stuffed chicken breast in flour, ensuring it is fully covered. Dip each floured chicken breast into the beaten eggs and then into the seasoned panko breadcrumbs, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they adhere well.
