easy chicken kiev

With this simplified method, it's easier than ever to make Chicken Kiev. Slice through the crisp exterior of this juicy Chicken Kiev and you'll get a stream of hot lemon-herb and garlic butter that makes the chicken incredibly moist and flavorful.

Easy Chicken Kiev Recipe

chicken breasts (12 oz each breast)

eggs (beaten)

flour

bread crumbs

Salt and Pepper to taste

olive oil

Tbsp unsalted butter (room temp)

garlic (minced)

lemon juice (plus more to drizzle finished chicken)

parsley

salt (we use sea salt)

tsp black pepper (freshly ground)

In a medium bowl, mash together all Kiev butter ingredients with a fork, just until lemon juice is incorporated into the butter. It takes a couple mins but it does come together.

Using a sharp slim knife, cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise, keeping both halves equal in size and thickness. Carefully cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast as deep and wide as you can go without cutting through the chicken breast (about a 2"x3" pocket). Stuff each chicken breast with 1 Tbsp of Kiev butter then close the pocket and push over the top of chicken breast to disperse butter. Pinch the opening to seal. Season both sides of chicken breast with salt and pepper.

Dredge chicken in flour, dusting off excess then dip in eggs making sure to get a good egg coating all around and letting any excess egg drip off. Finally dip into the bread crumbs. Transfer to a platter while forming remaining chicken Kievs.

Add 1/3" of oil to a large deep skillet and place over medium heat. Once the oil is hot (a bread crumb should sizzle when you add it to the pan), add chicken in a single layer and fry until golden brown (4 min per side). Repeat with second batch. Season hot fried chicken with a sprinkle of salt, garnish with fresh parsley, and squeeze lemon wedges over the top then serve. Be careful of the first spurt of hot butter when you cut the chicken.
