Chicken kiev: Calories, Macros, 22 Vitamins & 11 Minerals (USDA Per 100g)
A classic Eastern European dish, Chicken Kiev features a pounded chicken breast rolled around a generous knob of herb butter, then breaded and deep-fried or baked until golden and the butter melts into a luscious sauce. --- RECIPE --- Servings: 4 Prep Time: 30 minutes (plus chilling time) Ingredients: - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6-8 oz each), pounded very thin - 4 tablespoons cold butter, divided into 4 logs - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped - 1 clove garlic, minced - Salt and black pepper to taste - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour - 1 large egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water - 1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko preferred) - Vegetable oil, for frying or baking Instructions: 1. In a small bowl, combine cold butter logs with chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Roll each butter log in plastic wrap and chill until firm. 2. Lay each pounded chicken breast flat. Place one chilled herb butter log in the center. Fold the sides of the chicken over the butter, then roll up tightly to completely enclose the butter. Ensure there are no gaps. 3. Set up a breading station: one dish with seasoned flour, one with egg wash, one with seasoned breadcrumbs. 4. Dredge each chicken roll in flour, then egg wash, then breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere. For best results, double-coat by repeating the egg wash and breadcrumb steps. Chill for 30 minutes to firm up the coating. 5. For frying: Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C). Fry chicken rolls for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F/74°C). 6. For baking: Place breaded chicken rolls on a lightly greased baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with oil. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. 7. Serve immediately, being cautious of the hot, melted butter inside.
