Chicken Kiev is an easy, yet elegant entrée that uses ingredients that you probably have at home. This recipe includes the measurements of ingredients to serve two people.
Ingredients
- 2 Boneless, Skinless chicken breasts
- 2 Cups Panko (Panko is a type of breadcrumbs. If you don't want to buy some in the store, all you have to do is grate un-crusted white bread with a hand-grater or food processor. Then put them in the oven on a cookie tray at 300 degrees until they become crisp, but NOT browned.)
- 1 Stick of Butter
- About 3 Tablespoons of Parsley
- 1 Teaspoon of Rosemary
- 2 Eggs
- 2 Tablespoons of Milk
- Olive Oil (for frying)
- Salt and Pepper
Steps
- First, you will need to make the herb-butter that goes inside of the chicken. To do this mix the butter, rosemary, parsley, and some salt and pepper to taste in a bowl with a hand beater. Then, lay a piece of plastic wrap on a table. Spoon the herb butter onto the plastic wrap making what looks like a "line" of butter. Roll the butter into a "log". Refrigerate.
- Tenderize the fully defrosted chicken so it is about 1/4-1/3 of an inch thick. Lightly season with salt and pepper on each side.
- Cut the log of herb butter into two pieces. Then, place them on one of the ends of the chicken. Roll the chicken into a "log" and place on plastic wrap. Make sure that the plastic wrap is tightly wrapped around the chicken. Refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
- In a bowl, mix the eggs and milk together. And place Prepare Crab Cakes With Remoulade Sauce in a separate bowl or plate.
- Unwrap the chicken carefully and dip it into the eggs. Then coat generously in Panko.
- Heat the olive oil in a frying pan.
- Fry the chicken until it achieves a golden brown color on each side. (About 5-6 minutes each side).
- Let oil drain from chicken on a plate with paper towel for about 4 minutes.
- Enjoy!
Tips
- If the chicken is not holding its shape, pin toothpicks in it until it is finished cooking.
- Always use hot oil.
- The chicken becomes more easy to handle (it stays intact) when it is refrigerated for a longer time.
Warnings
