Start by preparing the herb butter. In a small bowl, combine unsalted butter, finely chopped parsley, dill, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Mix well until all ingredients are incorporated.
Place the herb butter mixture on a piece of plastic wrap, shape it into a log, wrap it up tightly, and chill in the freezer for at least 15 minutes.
Take the chicken breasts and use a sharp knife to carefully cut a pocket in each piece. Ensure the pocket is deep enough to hold the butter but not all the way through to the other side.
Once the butter is firm, cut it into small pieces. Stuff each chicken breast with an equal amount of the herb butter.
Secure the pocket by pressing the edges together. If necessary, use toothpicks to keep the filling from leaking out during cooking.
Place flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls. Dip each stuffed chicken breast in flour first, making sure it is well-coated.
Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, letting the excess drip off, and then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs. Repeat with all chicken breasts.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot with your choice of low sodium sides, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
