Chicken Kiev

An old classic. Allow extra time to prepare.

Ingredients:

  • 4 large chicken breasts, halved, skin and bones removed
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh Chives, chopped fine
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1/8 tsp. garlic powder (or 1 clove garlic, mashed to a paste) more if you like
  • 1/2 cup butter or hard margarine, softened
  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup fine dry bread crumbs
  • Cooking oil for deep-frying
Instructions:
  1. Pound each chicken breast between 2 sheets of waxed paper to flatten 1/4 inch thick. Do not puncture or tear.
  2. In small bowl mix chives, salt, pepper, garlic powder and butter. Shape into 8 balls or rectangular shapes. 
  3. Chill in freezer for a few minutes until firm. Place ball at long (wide) end of each breast. Fold sides over first then bring up front and back fastening with wooden picks.
  4. Roll in flour, dip in egg and coat with crumbs. Chill for about 1 hour.
  5. Deep-fry, in 375 F. hot oil for about 3 minutes until golden. Make sure all sides are browned. Drain on paper towels.
  6. Here is where you can get creative and make a sauce to accompany this wonderfully delicious chicken.
SMA-CHNO-HO! (ENJOY)
