Steps:
- In a large, deep skillet, heat 1 1/2 inches vegetable oil over medium high heat. The oil needs to be 360 degrees F for frying. If you do not have a frying thermometer, add a cube of white bread to hot oil. If the bread browns in a 40 count, the oil is ready.
- Cover work surface with waxed paper. Arrange breasts on paper. Butterfly small chicken breasts, cut into flesh and across, but not through the breast, and open them up. The 6-ounce thin cut breasts may just be removed from package and arranged on waxed paper. Cover breast meat with a second sheet of waxed paper. Pound out cutlets to 1/4-inch thick with a small heavy skillet or a rubber mallet. Be careful not to tear meat. Roll up waxed paper and breasts and set aside.
- Combine chopped herbs on cutting board with chopped garlic. Cut 4 (1 1/2 tablespoons) pieces of cold butter and coat each piece liberally with the herb garlic mixture.
- In 3 disposable pie tins, set out flour, eggs beaten with a splash of cold water and bread crumbs. Uncover chicken and squeeze a wedge of lemon over breasts. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place an herb-covered piece of butter on each piece of chicken. Wrap and roll cutlets tightly up and over the butter cubes. Discard pie tins used for breading. Secure stuffed chicken with toothpicks. Roll stuffed breasts in flour, then egg, then bread crumbs.
- Fry the Kiev bundles 7 to 8 minutes on each side until deep golden brown all over.

Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350F and start to pound your chicken breasts until they're quite thin- about 1/2 - 1 centimeter thick. Season with salt, pepper, parsley and tarragon.
- Now add 2 tablespoons of butter, cut to fit the length of the chicken breast, and chopped garlic and green onion.
- Roll the chicken up and secure with tooth picks.
- For your bread crumbs, you'll be using crushed pork rinds. The easiest way to crush them is to either put them in a Nutribullet for a few seconds.
- Prepare your dredging station by adding some coconut flour to a shallow bowl, a beaten egg to another and your pork rinds to a third.
- Coat your chicken in the coconut flour first, sealing all sides, then dipping into your beaten egg and finally coating it fully in pork rinds.
- Place your chicken in the fridge for about 30 minutes before frying it on all sides in a well oiled pan.
- Then place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for about 20 minutes. You may baste the chicken in any butter that may seep out.
- Serve on a bed of arugula and enjoy!

Steps:
- Mix together the stick of butter, herbs, and salt and pepper until well combined. This can be done by softening the butter and mashing the ingredients together with a fork, or by blending everything in a food processor or stand mixer. Scrape the butter onto a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper and shape/roll it into a log that is about the same size as a stick of butter. Place in the freezer 25 minutes to harden. Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap or wax paper and use a mallet or rolling pin to pound each breast to 1/4-inch thickness. Don't pound it too thin, or the meat will tear when you try to roll it up. Take the butter out of the freezer and slice it into 4 rectangular pieces that are the same size. Place a slab of butter in the middle of each chicken breast. Fold in the short sides of the chicken breast just a little bit, and then fold over one long side so it covers the butter. Roll the breast long ways into a tight roll. Refrigerate 1-2 hours, which makes the butter firm and helps the chicken hold together better. Season the outside of the chicken lightly with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil/animal fat in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is nice and hot, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the chicken breasts with the seam down. Cook until golden brown on all sides and cooked through, approximately 20 minutes. A few minutes before the chicken comes out of the pan, you can add remaining tablespoons of butter, for extra flavor and browning.

AIR FRYER CHICKEN KIEV
Chicken Kiev is not a last-minute thing but one that takes planning and is well worth the effort. It's crispy on the outside while the butter mixture flavors the chicken throughout but still leaves that pop of butter when you cut it open. Traditionally it is deep-fried first prior to being baked, but this recipe eliminates that step and cooks it from start to finish in the air fryer, making it a healthier and quicker alternative.

Steps:
- Mix butter, parsley, garlic, and salt together in a bowl until evenly combined. Divide herbed butter in half and place on a baking sheet. Freeze for 10 minutes.
- Place chicken on a clean work surface and season with salt and pepper. Place 1/2 of the herbed butter in the center of each pounded chicken breast. Gather the sides of the chicken up around the butter mixture. Cover each ball of chicken in plastic wrap and twist to secure. Place back on the baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Place flour in a bowl, beaten egg in a second bowl, and panko and paprika in a third bowl. Remove plastic from chicken. Dredge each chicken breast first in flour, then in beaten egg, and finally in panko bread crumb mixture.
- Place breaded chicken in the basket of the air fryer. Spray the tops with cooking spray.
- Air fry for 5 minutes. Spray with nonstick spray again and cook for 5 minutes more. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chicken breasts. Look for breasts that are plump and have a good amount of meat. Avoid breasts that are thin or have a lot of fat.
- Make sure the chicken breasts are boneless and skinless. This will make it easier to roll them up.
- Use a sharp knife to make a pocket in each chicken breast. Be careful not to cut all the way through the breast.
- Stuff the chicken breasts with your favorite filling. You can use a variety of fillings, such as butter, cheese, herbs, or vegetables.
- Roll up the chicken breasts tightly and secure them with toothpicks. This will help to keep the filling inside the chicken breasts.
- Coat the chicken breasts in almond flour and Parmesan cheese. This will help to create a crispy crust.
- Bake the chicken breasts in a preheated oven until they are cooked through. The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the chicken breasts.
Conclusion:
Keto Chicken Kiev is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The chicken breasts are juicy and flavorful, and the crispy crust is a perfect complement. This dish is sure to impress your guests, and it is also a great way to enjoy a ketogenic diet.
