Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with finely chopped garlic and chives. Mix well to ensure the garlic and chives are evenly distributed throughout the butter.
- Place the herbed butter onto a piece of plastic wrap, shape it into a small log, and refrigerate until firm.
- Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper.
- Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/4 inch (0.5 cm). Be careful not to tear the meat.
- Once flattened, remove the herbed butter from the refrigerator and cut it into four equal portions.
- Place one piece of herbed butter in the center of each chicken breast.
- Carefully roll up each chicken breast, tucking in the sides to completely enclose the butter. Secure with toothpicks if necessary.
- In a shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs with dried oregano.
- In another bowl, lightly beat the egg white.
- Dip each rolled chicken breast into the egg white, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Next, roll the chicken breasts in the bread crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large ovenproof skillet, heat a bit of oil over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts, seam side down, and cook until golden brown on all sides.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- Peel and cut the potatoes into evenly sized chunks.
- Place them in a large pot and cover with cold water.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Add 1/2 cup milk and mash until smooth and creamy. Keep warm.
- Remove the Chicken Kyiv from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve each chicken breast alongside a generous portion of mashed potatoes.
- Garnish with additional chives if desired.
Tips:
- When pounding the chicken breasts, do so gently but thoroughly to ensure even thickness, which will help them cook evenly.
- Freeze the stuffed chicken breasts for about 30 minutes before breading and cooking to help them hold their shape and prevent the butter from leaking out.
- For a crispier coating, you can double-dip the chicken in egg white and bread crumbs.
- Use a thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is fully cooked.
- For the mashed potatoes, be sure to start the potatoes in cold water and then bring to a boil; this ensures even cooking.
- Warm the milk before adding it to the mashed potatoes to keep them nice and hot.
Chicken Kyiv with mashed potatoes is a meal that combines rich flavors with textures that are both crispy and creamy.
