1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten

Fill each pocket with herb butter mixture and seal with toothpicks if necessary.
Dredge stuffed chicken in flour, then dip into beaten eggs followed by panko breadcrumbs until fully coated.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat; fry chicken until golden brown (5-7 minutes per side). Transfer to an oven-safe dish and bake at 375°F (190°C) for an additional 15-20 minutes.
