Chicken Kiev

Indulge in the crispy, buttery goodness of Chicken Kiev, where tender chicken breasts are enveloped in a fragrant garlic-parsley butter. Perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner or a special gathering with loved ones.

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 100 g unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 2 cups breadcrumbs
• 500 ml vegetable oil

Method

1. 1

   In a bowl, mix the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

2. 2

   Lay the chicken breasts flat and place a portion of the garlic-herb butter in the center of each breast. Fold the edges over the butter and roll tightly, securing the ends with toothpicks or kitchen twine.

3. 3

   Dredge each chicken roll in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

4. 4

   Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken rolls and fry until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes on each side.

5. 5

   Transfer the fried chicken rolls to a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

6. 6

   Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Carefully remove the toothpicks or twine before serving.

7. 7

   Serve hot, optionally with a side of salad or mashed potatoes.
