Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking later on.

2. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

3. Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin to flatten to an even thickness, about ¼ inch.

4. Take a generous spoonful of the garlic herb butter mixture and place it in the center of each chicken breast.

5. Carefully fold the sides of the chicken over the butter to enclose it completely, forming a neat pocket. Secure with toothpicks if needed to keep the filling in place.

6. Roll each stuffed chicken breast in flour, shaking off any excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, ensuring the entire surface is coated.

7. Next, roll the chicken breasts in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to help the breadcrumbs adhere.

8. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

9. Transfer the fried chicken breasts to a baking dish and place in the preheated oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

10. Remove the toothpicks before serving. Slice each Chicken Kiev in half to reveal the delicious garlic herb butter filling.

11. Serve hot with your choice of sides and enjoy the rich flavors of this classic dish.
