Remove from bag and lightly season with salt and pepper.

Remove frozen herb butter roll from the plastic wrap and cut into 6 equal pieces.

Prepare 3 shallow bowls, one with flour, one with eggs and one with breadcrumbs.
Roll each chicken breast first in flour, then dip generously into beaten eggs and finally roll in breadcrumbs, applying gentle pressure to ensure good coverage.
