A classic Chicken Kiev recipe featuring juicy chicken breasts stuffed with garlic-infused butter, perfectly seasoned and breaded for a crispy finish.

Scale

4 Boneless Chicken Breasts

1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (softened)

4 Garlic Cloves (minced)

1/4 cup Fresh Parsley (chopped)

2 tbsp Lemon Juice

1 tsp Paprika

1 cup Bread Crumbs

2 Eggs (lightly beaten)

1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour

Salt and Pepper to taste

Prepare the Garlic Butter Filling: Mix the softened butter with garlic, parsley, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper. Shape into a log and freeze for 15 minutes.
Prepare the Chicken: Pound each chicken breast to 1/4 inch thick between plastic wrap.
Stuff the Chicken: Cut the chilled garlic butter into pieces and place on each chicken breast. Fold and roll tightly, securing with toothpicks.
Bread the Chicken: Set up a breading station with seasoned flour, beaten eggs, and bread crumbs. Dredge the chicken in flour, dip in eggs, then coat in bread crumbs.
Cook the Chicken: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken parcels for 7-10 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve: Let rest for a few minutes, then slice to reveal the garlic butter and enjoy.

Ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly using a meat thermometer. Feel free to experiment with herbs in the breadcrumb mixture.
