Chicken Kiev

Good morning:)  Off to take an accounting test this morning so this is a fast one.  I made Chicken Kiev last night and it was SO good!! Sarah got to try a bit of it and she said she it’s the best thing she’s ever eaten:) Well, I don’t know if it is really true but it was good:) I even got the Paul seal of approval:)  It did take me a while but I think it was worth it.  The pictures are a bit on the dark side, horrible lighting in my kitchen. Oh and one last thing, these were huge, so I think next time, Paul and I will split one!   Enjoy!!

OK, HERE’S What You Need:

4 chicken breasts (flattened)

4  T. butter (softened)

1 T. chopped parsley

1 T. chopped chives

1 clove garlic (pressed)

1/4 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

flour (for dusting)

1 egg (beaten) + a splash of water

Italian breadcrumbs

HERE’S What You Do:

In a bowl mix your soft butter, parsley, chives, garlic, salt & pepper.

Divide into 4 and place in the refrigerator until it's chilled (No, not very pretty is it?:)

***Meanwhile, flatten your chicken out. I put mine in a freezer bag and pounded it out to 1/4 inch thick.

In the center of each chicken breast, place one of the dollops of butter. Enclose completely and secure with toothpicks.

Dush lightly with flour.

Dip in egg and roll in Italian bread crumbs.

Place in a oven safe dish that has been Pam'd:) Bake, covered, at 350 F for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake another 15 minutes.

I made mashed potatoes to go along with it:) Yum!
