Instructions
- HOW TO MAKE GARLIC BUTTER FOR CHICKEN KIEV
- In a bowl of your food processor with chopper attachment combine butter, garlic cloves, fresh herbs & pepper. Process until it reaches the paste consistency.
- Form a log 4 cm/1.5 inches thick, cover with plastic wrap and put it in the freezer for at least 15-20 minutes.
- HOW TO MAKE CHICKEN KIEV
- First, remove fat & tenderloins from chicken fillet and pat dry.
- Place chicken on the cutting board, cover with plastic or wax paper. Carefully pound the chicken breast with a meat mallet. You must get 0.5 cm / 0.2 “thick chicken breasts. Try not to tear chicken. Otherwise, later, sealed butter will ooze when you will fry Chicken Kiev. Peel off wax paper.
- Coat the pound chicken breasts in chicken spice mix and let them marinate for 10-15 minutes.
- Take the prepared garlic-herbs butter and cut into 4 equal pieces.
- Place 1 piece of garlic-herbs butter in the centre of each chicken breast.
- Roll into a log, seal from the edges & cover with plastic (make sure that chicken is tightly wrapped with plastic). Put Chicken Kiev in the freezer for 1 hour.
- In a saucepan heat 2 cups vegetable oil.
- Prepare 3 bowls: Corn Flour bowl, bread crumbs bowl & Egg bowl.
- Remove chicken Kiev from the freezer, unwrap. Coat first in flour (it will absorb extra liquid) then dip each peace in slightly beaten eggs, and coat with bread crumbs.
- Fry the Kievs for 3-4 minutes per side until golden & cooked.
- You may have to do it in batches.
- Transfer to a baking tray and bake 20 minutes more.
- Serve with Mashed Potatoes or salad.
