Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 100 grams unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 100 grams gluten-free flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 150 grams gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 500 milliliters vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the herb butter. In a small bowl, mix softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, lemon zest, and chopped fresh parsley until well combined.

Step 2

Place the flavored butter mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap and shape it into a small log. Wrap it tightly and refrigerate until firm, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, prepare the chicken breasts. Using a sharp knife, make a pocket in each chicken breast by cutting a slit along the side, taking care not to cut all the way through.

Step 4

Remove the chilled herb butter from the fridge and cut it into four equal pieces. Stuff each piece of butter into the pocket of the chicken breasts.

Step 5

In a shallow dish, mix gluten-free flour, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

In another shallow dish, beat eggs lightly.

Step 7

Place gluten-free breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.

Step 8

Carefully dredge each stuffed chicken breast in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 9

Next, dip the chicken in beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off.

Step 10

Finally, coat the chicken thoroughly with gluten-free breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 11

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add enough vegetable oil to reach a depth of about half an inch.

Step 12

Once the oil is hot but not smoking, carefully add the prepared chicken breasts. Fry them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Make sure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 13

Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil.

Step 14

Allow Chicken Kyiv to rest for a couple of minutes before serving to ensure the flavors meld and the butter stays within the pocket for serving.

Step 15

Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables or a light salad.
