Ingredients:

Serving

4 single chicken breasts
2 -3 tbsp butter (at room temp,soft but not melted )
2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
1 tsp minced garlic (use more if you like )
1 egg (lightly beaten )
1 cup dried breadcrumbs
1 -2 tbsp olive oil (i use rice bran oil here in new zealand)

Directions:

Pre heat the oven to 180'C/350'F.
Mix together until well combined the butter, basil and garlic.
Cut a deep cut along each chicken breast to make a pocket.
Fill pockets with the butter mixture, pressing in well.
Carefully dip each breast into the beaten egg and then into the dried breadcrumbs, pressing on well.
You can now either leave on a flat plate in fridge for 20 mins or longer to set crumbs or cook straight away depending on what time you have.
Heat oil in a non stick pan over medium high heat and fry the chicken breasts for 2-3 mins each side or until golden brown.
Remove from pan and place in a baking paper lined shallow baking dish and bake in oven for about 10 mins until cooked through.
