Ukranian dish Chicken Kiev : How to prepare

 



Chicken Kiev is a classic Ukrainian dish known for its flavorful and indulgent combination of crispy breaded chicken and a rich, herb-infused garlic butter filling. Here's an overview of the dish:


**Ingredients:**


1. **Chicken:** Typically, boneless, skin-on chicken breasts are used.


2. **Garlic Herb Butter:** This is the star of the dish. It's made by combining softened butter with minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs (usually parsley and dill), and sometimes lemon zest. The butter is seasoned with salt and pepper and then chilled.


3. **Breading:** The chicken is coated in a breadcrumb mixture before frying. You'll need all-purpose flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs (traditional or panko) for this step.


4. **Oil:** Vegetable oil is used for frying the chicken to golden perfection.


**Instructions:**


1. **Prepare the Garlic Herb Butter:** Mix softened butter with minced garlic, chopped fresh parsley, dill (optional), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Form this mixture into a log shape, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm.


2. **Prepare the Chicken:** Take boneless, skin-on chicken breasts and season them with salt and pepper. Then, make a pocket in each breast by carefully slicing into the side, being careful not to cut all the way through.


3. **Stuff the Chicken:** Slice rounds of the chilled garlic herb butter and place them inside the pocket you made in each chicken breast. Seal the chicken around the butter.


4. **Bread the Chicken:** Roll each chicken breast in flour, dip it into beaten eggs, and then coat it thoroughly with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure good adhesion.


5. **Fry the Chicken:** Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken breasts and cook until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), which ensures the chicken is cooked through.


6. **Serve:** Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oil and let it drain on paper towels. Serve hot, ideally cutting into the chicken to reveal the oozing garlic herb butter.


Chicken Kiev is often served with a side of vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad. It's a delicious and comforting dish that's sure to impress. Enjoy!
