Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped fresh parsley.
- Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Shape the butter mixture into a small log, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm (about 30 minutes).
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lay a chicken breast flat on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice horizontally into the thicker side of the breast to create a pocket. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
- Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
- Once the herb butter is firm, cut it into pieces that will fit inside the pockets of the chicken breasts.
- Insert a piece of the herb butter into each pocket, pressing the edges of the chicken together to seal as best as you can. Use toothpicks if necessary to secure the openings.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs.
- Dredge each stuffed chicken breast first in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off.
- Finally, coat the chicken evenly with bread crumbs, pressing lightly to ensure the crumbs adhere well.
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of oil to coat the bottom.
- Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Remove any toothpicks, slice the chicken if desired, and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Ensure the butter mixture is well-chilled before stuffing the chicken breasts to prevent it from leaking out during cooking.
- Use cling film to help roll and shape the chicken breasts evenly, making it easier to handle and ensuring even cooking.
- Double breading the chicken breasts will give you a crispier and more robust crust.
- Allow the breaded chicken to rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before frying to help the breading adhere better.
There you have it - a delicious homemade Chicken Kyiv! With its flavorful garlic butter filling and perfectly crispy coating, this dish is sure to be a hit at your dinner table. Enjoy this classic recipe with your favorite side dishes and savor the delightful combination of textures and flavors.
