Chicken Kyiv is a dish made of chicken fillet pounded and rolled around cold butter, then coated with egg and bread crumbs, and either fried or baked.
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
- Pound each chicken breast half between two sheets of plastic wrap until about 1/4 inch thick.
- In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the butter mixture evenly over each chicken breast.
- Roll up each chicken breast starting from the long side.
- Secure each roll with a toothpick.
- Dip each roll in the flour, then the egg, then the bread crumbs.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Fry the chicken rolls for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve immediately.
Tips:
- You can also bake the chicken rolls instead of frying them. To do this, preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place the chicken rolls on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.
- You can add other ingredients to the butter mixture, such as chopped herbs, grated cheese, or cooked mushrooms.
- You can also use different types of bread crumbs, such as panko or Italian bread crumbs.
