Prep: 20 min • Cook: 30 min. A lighter take on the classic, this Chicken Kyiv is baked instead of fried, offering a healthier yet equally delicious alternative. Chicken breasts are meticulously pounded thin, then generously filled with a fragrant mixture of garlic and herb butter. They are subsequently coated in crispy breadcrumbs, ensuring a delightful crunch with every bite, and baked until perfectly golden. The result is an incredibly tender chicken, featuring a rich, flavorful, and molten butter center that oozes out beautifully upon cutting.

Tips

Ensure butter is well-chilled to prevent leakage during cooking. You can freeze it for longer.
To achieve extra crispy breading, lightly mist the breaded chicken with cooking spray before baking.
Serve immediately to enjoy the molten butter center. Pairs well with mashed potatoes or green beans.
