| | Chicken | | Chicken Kiev (print) | | Provided By: Kerry | | Description: Delicious butter-herb stuffed chicken | | Ingredients | 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tsp dried parsly
1 tbl Johnny's garlic seasoning
1/2 tsp dried tarragon
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
8 boneless skinless chicken halves
3 eggs, beaten with 1.5 tsp of water
4 cups panko crumbs ( I used original and it was good, but I plan on trying flavored panko next time)
| | Directions | 1. Combine the butter, parsley, garlic, tarragon, salt and pepper. Place on saran wrap and roll into a small log, freeze. (Do not use wax paper, it freezes into the butter and is a pain in the butt to get out). **Butter can be left in freezer overnight or longer until needed***
2. Pound chicken to 1/8 inch thickness and lightly season with salt and pepper. Place each breast onto a sheet of saran wrap or foil. (1 sheet per breast)
3. Cut butter compound into 8 equal pieces. Place 1 piece and 1 tablespoon of panko onto each breast.
4. Fold sides of chicken in and tightly roll breast into a log, sealing in the butter. Wrap tightly with the foil or saran wrap and place in fridge for at least 2 hours. (can be left overnight)
5. Take chicken and dip into egg wash, then roll into panko crumbs. Fry at 375 degrees until golden brown. Amazingly enough the butter filling does not leak out :)
*** I wanted to be sure that the chicken was cooked but didn't want to risk cutting into it and releasing the filling, so I put it in the oven (350) for about 20 minutes after frying to ensure it was completely cooked. It tasted great and was still moist inside and crispy outside after being in the oven.*** | | Notes | | |
