Chicken Kiev
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup of breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to 1/4-inch thickness.
- In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the garlic butter mixture into 4 equal portions and shape each portion into a log. Place the logs on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the garlic butter logs from the freezer and place one on each flattened chicken breast. Roll up the chicken, tucking in the sides to enclose the filling. Secure with toothpicks.
- Dredge each chicken roll in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- In a large skillet, heat enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken rolls and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the browned chicken rolls to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
- Remove the toothpicks before serving. Enjoy your delicious Chicken Kiev!
Chicken Kiev is a classic Ukrainian dish consisting of a breaded and fried chicken cutlet stuffed with a rich, herbed butter. The dish is believed to have originated in the 18th century in Moscow, but it gained popularity in Ukraine and became a staple of Russian and Ukrainian cuisine. The dish is known for its crispy exterior and flavorful, buttery center. Chefs like Yevgeny Sokolov and Olga Kovalenko have been credited with perfecting the recipe. Today, the best versions of Chicken Kiev can be found in traditional Ukrainian and Russian restaurants, where skilled chefs meticulously prepare the dish to ensure a perfect balance of flavors and textures. The key to a great Chicken Kiev lies in the quality of the butter and the precise cooking technique to ensure the chicken remains juicy while the butter melts to perfection.
