Follow these straightforward steps to create your Easy Chicken Kiev:

1. Prepare the Garlic Herb Butter: In a bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is well blended.
2. Shape the Butter: Place the mixture onto a piece of plastic wrap and shape it into a log. Wrap tightly and freeze for about 20 minutes until firm.
3. Prepare the Chicken: While the butter hardens, prepare the chicken breasts. Place each breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to a uniform thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
4. Stuff the Chicken: Remove the butter from the freezer and cut it into rounds. Take a chicken breast and place a butter piece in the center. Fold the sides over the butter and roll it tightly to seal. Repeat with the remaining breasts.
5. Coat the Chicken: Set up a breading station with three plates: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Dredge each stuffed chicken in flour, dip in egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to adhere.
6. Fry the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken. Fry for 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer—internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
7. Rest the Chicken: Remove the cooked Chicken Kiev from the skillet and let it rest on a paper towel-lined plate for about 5 minutes before serving.

By following these easy steps, you’ll have a luscious Chicken Kiev that’s bursting with flavor!
