Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• 8 tablespoons butter, unsalted
• 1 medium jalapeño, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon lime zest
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 cups vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine softened butter, jalapeño, cilantro, cumin, garlic powder, lime zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly to form a compound butter.

Step 2

Divide the compound butter into four portions and shape each into a small log. Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until firm.

Step 3

Pound each chicken breast to about 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin, ensuring they are even in size. Be careful not to tear the chicken.

Step 4

Place one butter log in the center of each chicken breast. Fold in the sides, then tightly roll the chicken around the butter, creating a sealed pocket. Secure with toothpicks if needed.

Step 5

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. Place flour in the first bowl, whisked eggs in the second, and panko breadcrumbs mixed with paprika in the third.

Step 6

Dredge each chicken roll in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip in the egg wash, then coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture. Press breadcrumbs gently to ensure they stick. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to help set the coating.

Step 7

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 8

In a heavy skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Fry each chicken roll until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 9

Transfer the browned chicken rolls to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Remove toothpicks, let rest for 5 minutes, and serve hot. Garnish with additional chopped cilantro and lime wedges, if desired.
