  • Hey everyone, it's Natasha of Natashaskitchen.com. Today we're making the easy

  • version of the classic chicken Kiev. It's a chicken breast, stuffed with a lemon

  • garlic herb butter so it's crisp on the outside and so juicy inside. Start by

  • making the flavored butter in a medium bow.l Combine 6 Tbsp ,of softened

  • unsalted butter 1 minced garlic clove, a Tbsp of fresh lemon juice, 2

  • Tbsp of chopped fresh parsley, 1/2 a tsp of salt and half a tsp

  • of black pepper. Use a fork to mash that together for a couple of minutes or just

  • until the lemon juice is incorporated into the butter. You'll need 3 large

  • chicken breasts. Cut each one in half lengthwise keeping both halves equal in

  • size and thickness. Now carefully cut a pocket into the side of each chicken

  • breast as deep and wide as you can go without cutting through the chicken

  • breast, about a 2 inch by 3 inch pocket.

  • Stuff each half with about a Tbsp of Kiev butter then close the pocket and

  • push over the top of the chicken breast. To disperse the butte,r pinch the

  • openings to seal. Here's a great tip if you accidentally cut through the pocket.

  • Cut a very thin slice of chicken breast meat right next to the hole and fold the

  • meat over onto the hole. This will seal it and keep the butter from oozing out.

  • while it's sauteing. Once the chicken breasts are all stuffed and ready to go,

  • season with salt and pepper, carefully flip them over and season the second

  • side. You'll need to prepare your breading stations. On the first large

  • plate you'll need 1/2 a cup of flour, in the second large bowl add two large eggs

  • and beat them together well with a fork and in the third large plate add two

  • cups of Panko breadcrumbs. First dredge each piece of chicken in the flour,

  • dusting off the excess then dip into the eggs, making sure to get a good egg

  • coating and allow any excess egg to drip off before transferring it to the

  • breadcrumb plate. Generously bread both sides of the stuffed chicken and

  • transfer to a platter. Once all of the chicken is breaded, we're ready to cook

  • it. Place a large deep, heavy bottomed pan over medium heat and add a quarter inch

  • of oil. Once your oil is hot enough for frying or about 350˚F,

  • add your breaded chicken in a single layer, saute four minutes per side or

  • until golden brown and if they're browning too quickly reduce the heat.

  • Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with

  • cooking the second batch. I am excited! Time for the taste test and a secret

  • that I picked up on a long time ago, any time you fry something, sprinkle a little

  • bit of salt on it just as soon as it's done then it makes the flavors just come

  • alive and then I'd love to garnish it with a little bit of fresh parsley, gives

  • it that fresh pop of color. All right, let's pick the big one, okay here we go.

  • Look at that and that butter also makes the most amazing dipping sauce for this

  • chicken and it keeps the inside super moist and flavorful. YUM! Take a look

  • inside - that's what I'm talking about. Okay, let's have a bite,

  • let's do this, a little bit of extra butter. Oh I forgot the lemon! So serve

  • these with some fresh lemon wedges and just squeeze it over the top. Just that

  • little bit of lemon juice makes these taste over-the-top amazing.

  • Okay, of course we have to do another taste test. All right,

  • mmm-hmm! That's more like it. This is perfect for just an easy

  • weeknight meal or to serve at a party. This is delicious. You can really taste

  • that pop of lemon flavor and that flavored butter inside, I am telling you

  • it's so good and memorable. Make this and you'll get recipe requests. If you enjoyed
