Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Butterfly each chicken breast and pound it out to an even thickness with a meat mallet.

Step 3

In a bowl, mix together the butter, garlic, and parsley until well combined. Form the mixture into 4 equal size logs and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes until firm.

Step 4

Place the flour in a shallow dish, and season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.

Step 6

In a third shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs and salt.

Step 7

Remove the garlic butter logs from the fridge and place one log inside each butterflied chicken breast. Secure the edges with toothpicks.

Step 8

Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, then dip in the beaten egg, making sure it's completely coated. Finally, coat in the breadcrumb mixture.

Step 9

Arrange the chicken Kiev on a baking tray and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the toothpicks before serving.
