Make Chicken Kiev

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. In a bowl, mix the eggs and milk together. And place Prepare Crab Cakes With Remoulade Sauce in a separate bowl or plate.
  5. Unwrap the chicken carefully and dip it into the eggs. Then coat generously in Panko.
  6. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan.
  7. Fry the chicken until it achieves a golden brown color on each side. (About 5-6 minutes each side).
  8. Let oil drain from chicken on a plate with paper towel for about 4 minutes.
  9. 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

  • Be very careful with the hot oil. It can really hurt if it gets contact with your skin.
