Ingredients

• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 100 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 pieces Eggs
• 100 grams Breadcrumbs
• 500 milliliters Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Soften the butter at room temperature, then mix it with finely chopped parsley, dill, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Shape the butter mixture into a log, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until firm.

Step 2

Pound each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper until evenly thin, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3

Once the herb butter is firm, cut it into 4 equal pieces. Place one piece of butter in the center of each pounded chicken breast.

Step 4

Fold the sides of each chicken breast inward, then roll tightly to fully enclose the butter. Secure the seams with toothpicks if necessary.

Step 5

Set up a breading station with three dishes: one with the flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with the breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Coat each chicken roll in flour, then dip it into the egg, and finally coat it generously in breadcrumbs. Press gently to adhere the breadcrumbs well.

Step 7

Refrigerate the breaded chicken rolls for 30 minutes to firm up and prevent them from breaking apart during frying.

Step 8

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan to 175°C (350°F). Fry the chicken rolls in the hot oil for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).

Step 9

Place the fried Chicken Kievs on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs, alongside a side of mashed potatoes or a crisp green salad.
