Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breasts
• 100 grams dairy-free butter substitute
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 4 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 100 grams all-purpose gluten-free flour
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
• 150 grams gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 500 milliliters vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by making the dairy-free herb butter. Finely chop the fresh parsley and dill. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine the dairy-free butter substitute, chopped parsley, dill, and minced garlic. Add 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well until smooth.

Step 3

Place the herb butter on a piece of plastic wrap and form it into a log. Wrap it tightly and place it in the freezer for at least 15 minutes to harden.

Step 4

While the herb butter chills, prepare the chicken breasts. On a cutting board, carefully slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket without cutting all the way through.

Step 5

Once the butter is firm, cut the log into four equal pieces.

Step 6

Stuff each chicken breast pocket with a piece of herb butter and press the edges of the chicken firmly to seal.

Step 7

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the gluten-free flour. In the second dish, beat the eggs with the almond milk. In the third dish, add the gluten-free breadcrumbs.

Step 8

Season the chicken breasts with the remaining salt and black pepper.

Step 9

Dip each stuffed chicken breast first into the flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.

Step 10

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.

Step 11

Fry the chicken breasts, two at a time, for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 75°C (165°F).

Step 12

Once cooked, place the chicken on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 13

Serve hot and enjoy your Dairy-Free Chicken Kyiv!
