Chicken Kiev Recipe

This version of Chicken Kiev Recipe, a Russian favorite, is much lighter and lower in fat than the traditional method, where the chicken is deep fried instead of baked, and twice the amount butter is used in the preparation.

For a simple supper just adding a quick salad to the meal. This is one of the easiest chicken breast recipes.

Save time by pulling this Chicken Kiev together quickly the day before. All that is left is to heat the oven and bake!


This easy chicken recipe freezes very well. Make up a double batch, and freeze half. When you need a quick lunch box item, pull one out and it should keep perfectly until you find a microwave at lunch time.

Light Chicken Kiev Recipe

 Light Chicken Kiev
 
 
 

4 breasts    chicken, skinless and boneless  
4 tbs    unsalted butter  
2 tbs    chopped fresh chives  
2 tbs    chopped fresh parsley  
1/4 tsp    fresh ground black pepper  
1/3 cup    flour  
1/2 cup    breadcrumbs, homemade if possible  
1/2 cup    chopped almonds  
2   egg whites, lightly beaten  
 
1 Flatten each chicken breast by pounding with a mallet, or the flat side of a cleaver, placing the breasts between sheets of wax paper or plastic wrap. Be careful not to tear.
2 Mix the breadcrumbs and the almonds together on a plate. Place the beaten egg whites in a bowl, and the flour on another plate.
3 Sprinkle pepper on each breast portion. Place 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, along with 1/4 of the chopped herbs in the center of each flattened breast. Roll each breast up, tucking in ends so the butter doesn't leak out, and secure with toothpicks.
4 Roll each chicken portion in the flour, dip in the beaten egg whites, and coat with the breadcrumb mixture. When they are well coated, refrigerate for a minimum of one hour. These may be prepared the day before to this point.
5 Pre-heat your oven to 325*. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick oil spray, then place the chicken on the baking sheet.
6 Bake 40-45 minutes, until they are well browned.
