Make Herbed Butter
In a medium bowl, combine the unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped dill, and lemon juice. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. Scoop the mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap and shape it into a log. Wrap tightly and freeze until firm, about 30 minutes.

Bread and Fry Chicken Kiev
Take the frozen herbed butter out of the freezer and cut into 4 equal pieces. Place a piece of butter in the center of each chicken breast and fold the sides over the butter, securing it tightly. Dip each chicken roll in the flour, then the beaten eggs, and finally coat with bread crumbs. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken rolls until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes on each side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
