Ingredients
- For the Compound Butter
- 1/4 pound butter softened to room temperature.
- Juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 1 clove garlic finely diced
- 1 tsp dried tarragon
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- For the Chicken Kiev
- 1 chicken breast per person, butterflied and pounded thin
- 2 Tbs compound butter per breast
- 2 eggs scrambled with 2 Tbs water & seasoned with 1 tbs Worcestershire
- Flour seasoned with salt and pepper
- Panko bread crumbs
- Salt and pepper
- Cooking oil
Directions
- For the compound butter
- In a bowl place the butter and other ingredients and mash into a thoroughly combined mixture. Once combined place onto a piece of plastic wrap and roll into a tight log, and place into the freezer.
- For the chicken Kiev
- The biggest trick to a successful chicken Kiev is to pound the chicken thin and wrap the butter tightly so it doesn't leach out during the cooking process.
- Place a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap sprinkled with a little water on a sturdy surface. Put the chicken on it and cover with a second piece. Pound until about 1/8 of an inch in thickness. Lightly salt and pepper both sides of the chicken.
- Place the butter about 1/3 of the way down the chicken and pull chicken over the butter, then fold in the sides and roll tightly. Place onto a sheet pan or plate flap side down and put into the refrigerator or freezer to firm up.
- Right before cooking take 3 bowls, in one place the flour, the eggs in a second,and the panko in the third.
- Preheat oven to 350°
- Roll the chicken into the flour, dip to cover in the egg wash and place into the panko and bread completely.
- In a frying pan with about 1/2 inch of oil brown the chicken flap side down first. Once completely browned on all sides, place into a baking dish and bake for 30 -45 minutes until done.
