Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 recipe compound butter
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- salt and pepper, to season
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- oil for frying, vegetable or canola
Instructions
- Prepare the compound butter ahead of time and make sure it has time to chill before assembling the chicken kiev.
- Place the chicken breast on a cutting board between two pieces of plastic wrap and flatten using a meat mallet. Season both sides of the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Repeat for each chicken breast.
- Cut a slice of the chilled butter then place it in the center of each flattened chicken breast.
- Wrap the chicken over the butter by folding in the sides to form a log. Tightly wrap each chicken piece in plastic wrap. Seal the edges of the plastic wrap by twisting or folding the wrap tightly. Repeat for each chicken breast.
- Place the wrapped chicken logs in the freezer for about 2 hours until the seams have frozen.
- To make the breading station, add the flour to a medium bowl. In another bowl, crack the eggs and lightly beat them together. To a third bowl, add the panko breadcrumbs and Italian seasoning a stir to combine. Dip the chicken log into the flour first, followed by the eggs, then finally roll in the panko breadcrumbs. Repeat until all the chicken logs are coated.
- Preheat the oven to 400 Fahrenheit degrees. Add the oil into a large pot or deep fryer if you have one. Heat to 350 Fahrenheit degrees.
- Deep fry each chicken log for 3-4 minutes until golden brown on all sides. Transfer the fried chicken into a 9×13-inch casserole dish, bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
