Chicken Kiev combines crispy breading, tender chicken, and a buttery garlic filling for a restaurant-worthy dish that’s easy to make at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt. Form the mixture into a log using plastic wrap and chill in the freezer for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Place a chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet until it’s about 1/4-inch thick. Repeat for all pieces.
  3. Cut the butter log into pieces and place one in the center of each chicken breast. Fold the sides over the butter and roll tightly. Secure with toothpicks if needed.
  4. Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Dip each chicken roll first in flour, then eggs, then breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.
  5. Place the breaded chicken rolls in the fridge for 30 minutes to help the coating stick and prevent butter leakage during frying.
  6. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken rolls for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a baking sheet.
  7. Bake the chicken rolls in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-15 minutes to ensure they cook through completely.
  8. Let the Chicken Kiev rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Chilling the butter filling and breaded chicken helps prevent leakage during frying. Use panko breadcrumbs for a lighter, crunchier crust.
