== Ingredients ==
* 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (6 chicken halves)
* 1 cup butter, at room temperature
* ½ teaspoon black pepper
* 1 teaspoon granulated garlic powder
* 2 large eggs
* 3 tablespoons cold water
* ¼ teaspoon black pepper
* ¼ teaspoon granulated garlic powder
* ¾ teaspoon dried dill weed
* ½ cup all-purpose flour
* ¾ cup fine dry breadcrumbs or saltine crumbs
* ½ medium lemon, sliced
* ¼ cup finely chopped fresh parsley
* 2 cups vegetable oil or extra virgin olive oil
== Directions ==
# Remove all fat from chicken and discard.
# If chicken breasts are in one piece, split them into two pieces.
# Place each chicken breast between two pieces of wax paper and using a mallet, pound chicken until about ⅛ inch thickness.
# Do not pound too hard that the chicken breaks up.
# Place on a dish, cover and set prepared chicken breasts aside.
# In a small mixing bowl, mix together butter, black pepper, granulated garlic powder and mix to combine well.
# Form butter into a 2" x 3" rectangular shape on a 6 inch square piece of aluminum foil; thickness should be about ¼".
# Place in freezer compartment of refrigerator for about ½ hour until butter mixture hardens.
# Cut butter into 6 equal pieces (½" x 3").
# Place one piece of butter at the front of each prepared chicken breast.
# Fold in edges just to catch the edges of the butter on each side, then roll the chciken breast to encase the butter completely.
# This is necessary so that the butter does not run out while deep-frying.
# Secure chicken rolls with skewers or toothpicks.
# In a bowl, beat eggs with water.
# In a separate mixing bowl, mix together black pepper, garlic powder, dill weed and flour.
# In another separate bowl, measure the bread crumbs.
# Completely coat each rolled chicken into the flour mixture.
# Dip flour coated chicken into the egg mixture.
# Now roll and coat the chicken in the bread crumbs.
# Place chicken in a shallow dish and chill for about 30 minutes.
# In a medium size frying pan, add vegetable oil and heat to medium-high heat.
# Carefully place the chicken rolls into the oil and cook for 5 minutes on each side or until chicken is done and golden brown.
# To test for doneness, cut into 1 rolled chicken to make sure no pink is showing.
# Serve immediately, garnished with lemon twists and parsley.
