Chef John's Chicken Kiev Golden Garlic Herb Butter Chicken Kiev Ingredients: 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped 1 teaspoon lemon juice Salt and black pepper, to taste 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 2 large eggs, beaten 1 cup breadcrumbs 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying) Fresh lemon wedges, for garnish Directions: In a small bowl, mix softened butter, garlic, parsley, dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Shape into a log using plastic wrap and freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Pound each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap to about 1/4-inch thickness. Slice frozen herb butter into four portions. Place one portion in the center of each chicken breast. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, securing with toothpicks. Place rolled chicken in the fridge for 30 minutes to set. Prepare three shallow bowls: flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with paprika in the third. Dredge each chilled chicken roll in flour, then egg, then breadcrumb mixture. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry each chicken roll for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove toothpicks, rest for 5 minutes, and serve with lemon wedges.
