• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 100 grams butter
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 cup flour
• 2 pieces eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper

Method

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. 2

   In a bowl, mix the softened butter with minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Form this mixture into a log shape, wrap in plastic wrap, and freeze until firm (about 15 minutes).

3. 3

   While the butter is freezing, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet.

4. 4

   Once the butter is firm, take it out of the freezer and place a piece in the center of each chicken breast. Fold the sides over the butter and roll tightly, securing the ends with toothpicks.

5. 5

   Dredge each chicken roll first in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.

6. 6

   Heat a skillet with oil over medium heat. Fry the chicken rolls for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

7. 7

   Transfer the fried chicken Kyiv to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until cooked through.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, and serve hot.
