Notes
You can use fresh or frozen chicken breasts for this recipe, just let the chicken fully thaw on the counter for a few hours before preparing the recipe.
It is important to ensure the chicken is fully covered in the egg mixture while dredging. This helps form a “glue” that will prevent the butter from seeping out of the chicken during the cooking process.
This entree goes great with mashed potatoes, air fryer veggies, salad, etc.
This dish is good in the fridge reheated for 2-3 days after it has been cooked. It is important to pound out the chicken breast as much as you can to form a tight seal around the butter.
You can use salted or unsalted butter in this recipe, it just depends on your preference.
