Set aside until the butter is nearly frozen.
Lay open the fillets.
Place one of the rolls of frozen butter down the middle of each then fold over the fillet and secure as tightly as possible with cocktail sticks.
Roll each breast in the seasoned flour, making sure it is well coated then into the beaten egg and finally in the breadcrumbs.
Roll for a second time in the egg and a second time in the breadcrumbs.
Place the coated chicken on the baking tray and bake for 40 minutes until the chicken in cooked through, with no pink showing.
