CHICKEN KIEV
Steps:
- For the compound butter: Add the butter, cream cheese, pepper jack, dill, parsley, paprika, garlic, 2 tablespoons salt and 1 tablespoon pepper to a food processor and pulse, occasionally scraping down the sides, until well combined. Place the compound butter on a piece of plastic wrap and roll it in a tube shape about 2-inches in diameter, twisting the ends to secure. Place it in the freezer until completely solid, at least 3 hours.
- Divide the chicken into four 8-ounce patties. Remove the log of compound butter from the freezer and place it in the center of the chicken. Wrap the chicken around the compound butter and seal to form it tightly and evenly around--like a large egg shape.
- For the breading: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place a rack on top of a baking sheet.
- Set up a dredging station with the flour, beaten eggs, seasoned Italian breadcrumbs and panko. Season each with 2 tablespoons salt and 1 tablespoon pepper. Dredge the chicken lightly in the flour, egg, then Italian breadcrumbs. Pass the chicken back through the egg and then finally in the panko for a second coating. Place on the prepared rack.
- Fill a pot with 2 to 3 inches of oil and heat to 350 degrees F. Fry the chicken until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Place the chicken back on the rack and bake until cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Let the chicken rest for 1 to 2 minutes before serving.

CHEF JOHN'S CHICKEN KIEV
I'm not going to say this chicken Kiev is 'easy to make.' It's really not. So, why try?

Steps:
- Grind garlic and a pinch of salt together in a mortar and pestle until garlic is completely smashed. Add parsley and mix until completely incorporated. Pound butter into garlic mixture with pestle until parsley and garlic are fully incorporated into the butter. Wrap the butter mixture in plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, at least 15 minutes.
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place 1/4 the butter mixture in the center of wider end of each chicken breast. Fold the narrower end of each chicken breast up over the butter to form a tight pocket around the butter. Gather the sides of each chicken breast to the center to form a round ball. The top of the chicken will be smooth and the bottom will be gathered. Tightly wrap each chicken breast ball in plastic wrap, put wrapped breasts on a plate, and chill in the freezer until the gathered bottoms hold together and are slightly firm, about 30 minutes.
- Whisk flour and 2 teaspoons salt together in a shallow bowl. Whisk eggs together in another shallow bowl. Pour panko bread crumbs into another bowl.
- Remove chicken breast balls from plastic wrap. Gently press each chicken breast ball into flour mixture to coat and shake off any excess flour. Dip into beaten eggs, then press into bread crumbs. Place breaded chicken onto a plate, cover with plastic wrap, and return to the freezer to chill until firm, about 15 minutes.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Working in batches, cook chicken, gathered-side down, in hot oil and until lightly golden on both sides, about 1 minute per side. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle salt and cayenne pepper over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven until you can hear the butter start to sizzle on the baking sheet, 15 to 17 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Place all the garlic butter ingredients in a bowl and season well. Mash with a fork until well combined, shape into two sausages using cling film to help you shape it, then tightly wrap and chill or freeze until really firm. Can be made up to three days in advance. When firm, slice each into eight even pieces.
- Lay a chicken breast on a chopping board and use a sharp knife to make a deep pocket inside the breast. The easiest way is to push the point of a knife into the fat end, keep going halfway into the fillet. Be careful not to cut all the way through or the butter will leak out when cooking. Repeat with the remaining breasts. Push two discs of butter inside each chicken breast, press to flatten and re-seal with your hands. Set aside.
- Mix the breadcrumbs and parmesan on one plate, and tip the eggs onto another. On a third plate, mix the flour with paprika and some salt. Dip each breast in the flour, then the egg and finally the breadcrumbs, repeating so each kiev has a double coating (this will make them extra crisp and help to keep the butter inside). Chill for at least 1 hr before cooking, or freeze now - see tips, below.
- To cook, heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the kievs for 2-3 mins each side until golden - you may need to do this in batches. Transfer to a baking tray and cook for 20-25 mins until cooked through.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chicken breasts: Look for chicken breasts that are plump, moist, and free of any blemishes. Organic or free-range chicken is a great option.
- Butterfly the chicken breasts properly: Make sure to cut the chicken breasts deep enough so that they can be easily opened up and pounded flat. However, be careful not to cut all the way through.
- Pound the chicken breasts evenly: This will help to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and stays tender. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness.
- Season the chicken breasts generously: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to season the chicken breasts. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
- Use a good quality butter: The butter used in chicken Kiev is very important. Look for a high-quality butter that is unsalted and has a high fat content.
- Chill the chicken breasts before breading: This will help the breading to adhere better to the chicken. Place the chicken breasts in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before breading.
- Use a light touch when breading the chicken breasts: Do not press the breading into the chicken breasts too hard, as this will make the breading tough. Simply coat the chicken breasts evenly with the breading.
- Fry the chicken breasts at a moderate temperature: This will help to prevent the chicken from overcooking and drying out. Fry the chicken breasts at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve the chicken breasts immediately: Chicken Kiev is best served immediately after it is cooked. Serve the chicken breasts with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
Conclusion:
Chicken Kiev is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make chicken Kiev at home. Just be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your chicken Kiev turns out perfectly.
