Steps:
- Place all the herbs, chopped roughly, into a food blender. Blend herbs until fine and mix with melted butter.
- Carefully lay the flattened chicken breast on a buttered surface (as they tend to stick to wood when they are thin) and evenly spread the breast with butter. Be sure to reach the ends.
- Carefully roll the breast closed and pin it shut with a tooth pick if you prefer. This will keep the rolled breast in place throughout the baking process.
- Place the bread and seasoning into a food processor and blend until fine.
- Dip chicken breast into whisked egg and straight into the spiced breadcrumbs and arrange it in an oven safe dish.
- When you have finished with all your chicken breasts, sprinkle the olive oil over the Kiev's and bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan. Sauté the garlic in the oil and add the mushrooms.
- As soon as the mushrooms start to lose their moisture, add the butter.
- Add the flour and remove from heat.
- Use a wooden spoon to mix the flour into the moisture and melted butter.
- Add milk and stir.
- Put your pan back onto the heat, stirring constantly until your sauce becomes thick. Take off the heat and add salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve chicken kievs with creamy mushroom sauce.

Steps:
- In a large, deep skillet, heat 1 1/2 inches vegetable oil over medium high heat. The oil needs to be 360 degrees F for frying. If you do not have a frying thermometer, add a cube of white bread to hot oil. If the bread browns in a 40 count, the oil is ready.
- Cover work surface with waxed paper. Arrange breasts on paper. Butterfly small chicken breasts, cut into flesh and across, but not through the breast, and open them up. The 6-ounce thin cut breasts may just be removed from package and arranged on waxed paper. Cover breast meat with a second sheet of waxed paper. Pound out cutlets to 1/4-inch thick with a small heavy skillet or a rubber mallet. Be careful not to tear meat. Roll up waxed paper and breasts and set aside.
- Combine chopped herbs on cutting board with chopped garlic. Cut 4 (1 1/2 tablespoons) pieces of cold butter and coat each piece liberally with the herb garlic mixture.
- In 3 disposable pie tins, set out flour, eggs beaten with a splash of cold water and bread crumbs. Uncover chicken and squeeze a wedge of lemon over breasts. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place an herb-covered piece of butter on each piece of chicken. Wrap and roll cutlets tightly up and over the butter cubes. Discard pie tins used for breading. Secure stuffed chicken with toothpicks. Roll stuffed breasts in flour, then egg, then bread crumbs.
- Fry the Kiev bundles 7 to 8 minutes on each side until deep golden brown all over.

Steps:
- Combine butter, parsley, tarragon, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in the bowl of a stand mixer. Place mixture on plastic wrap or waxed paper and roll into small log; place in freezer.
- Place chicken breasts, 1 at a time, between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Squirt chicken lightly with water and squirt the top of the plastic wrap as well. Pound to no less than 1/8-inch thickness. Season each piece of chicken with salt and pepper.
- Lay 1 chicken breast on a new piece of plastic wrap and place 1/4 of the compound butter and 1 tablespoon bread crumbs in the center of each breast. Using the plastic wrap to assist, fold in ends of breast and roll breast into a log, completely enclosing the butter; roll very tightly. Repeat with each breast. Place chicken in refrigerator for 2 hours, or up to overnight.
- Place egg and water mixture in 1 pie pan and 2 cups bread crumbs in a different pie pan.
- Heat 1/2-inch of vegetable oil in a 12-inch saute pan over medium-high heat until oil reaches 375 degrees F.
- Dip each breast in the egg mixture and then roll in the bread crumbs. Gently place each breast in oil, sealed-side down, and cook until golden brown, approximately 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Remove to a cooling rack set in sheet pan and allow to drain for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- For the best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are of uniform thickness. This will ensure that they cook evenly.
- Make sure to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before stuffing them. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out.
- Use a sharp knife to make a pocket in each chicken breast. Be careful not to cut all the way through the chicken.
- Stuff the chicken breasts with your favorite fillings. Some popular options include butter, herbs, cheese, and vegetables.
- To prevent the filling from leaking out, carefully seal the pockets in the chicken breasts with toothpicks.
- Before frying the chicken breasts, coat them in breadcrumbs or flour. This will help them to brown evenly and develop a crispy crust.
- Fry the chicken breasts in hot oil until they are golden brown and cooked through. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan, as this will cause the chicken to steam rather than fry.
- Serve the chicken breasts immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include Russian mushroom sauce, honey mustard sauce, and ranch dressing.
