Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
10g
1.50 lb chicken breasts
680g
1 cup bread crumbs
90g
1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
60g
2 eggs
100g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Herb Butter:
- 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).
2. Prepare the Chicken Breasts:
- 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.
3. Stuff the Chicken:
- 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.
4. Coat the Chicken:
- 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.
5. Cook the Chicken:
- 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).
6. Serve:
- 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.
