Tips for Making Chicken Kiev:

  • Use high-quality chicken breasts. Look for breasts that are plump and have a good amount of meat on them.
  • Make sure the chicken breasts are pounded thin. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming dry.
  • Season the chicken breasts liberally with salt and pepper before dredging them in flour.
  • Use a generous amount of butter when making the compound butter. This will help to keep the chicken breasts moist and flavorful.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chicken breasts. They should be cooked until they are just cooked through, but not so long that they become dry.
  • Serve the chicken Kiev immediately with your favorite sides.
