The inspiration for this instruction came from our original instruction for chicken Kiev. I like this simplified methodology as a result of you don’t need to pound the chicken or refrigerate the butter and it cooks quicker since it’s flat and not rolled into a ball. You’ll still relish all identical wonderful flavors, simply faster and easier.
Slice through the crisp exterior and juicy chicken Kiev and you’ll get a stream of hot lemon-herb and paste that produces the chicken implausibly dampish and flavourous. That butter is thus straightforward to create and it's the key weapon for a few of our preferred recipes like roast Salmon and Asparagus and roast Turkey! It’s a very wonderful mixture of recent flavors.
INGREDIENTS :
For the Chicken Kiev :- 3 large chicken breasts 12 oz each breast
- 2 eggs beaten
- 2 cups Panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup flour
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Extra light olive oil or Canola oil to sauté
For the Lemon-Herb Garlic Butter :
- 6 Tbsp unsalted butter room temp
- 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 1 large garlic clove minced
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice plus more to drizzle finished chicken
- 1/2 tsp salt we use sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
INSTRUCTIONS :
- 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.
