Prepare the garlic butter by mixing softened butter, garlic powder, chopped parsley, and kosher salt in a bowl.

Flatten the chicken breasts to even thickness using a meat mallet.

Season the chicken with kosher salt and black pepper on both sides.

Place a piece of the garlic butter in the center of each chicken breast.

Fold the sides of the chicken over the butter and roll tightly, securing the ends with toothpicks or kitchen twine.

Dredge each chicken roll in plain flour, shaking off excess.

Dip the floured chicken in beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.

Coat the chicken in panko crumbs, pressing to adhere.

Heat canola oil in a deep fryer or skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the chicken rolls for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Transfer the chicken to a grill set up for indirect cooking and cook at 180°C (356°F) until the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
