Chicken Kiev


INGREDIENTS:
  • Chicken breasts- flattened with meat mallet
  • Butter (1/8 tbsp per chicken breast)
  • Parsley
  • Flour
  • 1 Egg
  • Breadcrumbs
  • Salt/Pepper

DIRECTIONS:
  • Flatten chicken breasts to about 1/2 inch thickness
  • Sprinkle about 1 tbsp parsley on top of each chicken piece along with a dash of salt and pepper, and then place a 1/8 tbsp chunk of butter in the center of each.
  • Put 1/4 cup flour into a bowl, 1 egg mixed with 1 tbsp water into another bowl, and 1/2 cup bread crumbs into a third bowl.
  • Fold the first chicken piece into a ball. You'll need to hold it together completely and work on sticking the edges as you complete the next step.
  • Dip chicken piece into flour bowl, egg bowl, bread crumb bowl... continuing to hold into a ball, pushing together the sides. Then dip back into the egg bowl and back into the bread crumb bowl. Place on an oven-safe dish and continue with remaining chicken breast pieces. This gets pretty messy... I pretty much submerged my hand into each mixture so that I could continue to hold together each piece of chicken.
  • Top with parsley. On a skillet, gently cook chicken pieces on the stovetop for about 3 minutes per side. Then bake for approximately 20 minutes.
Enjoy!
