Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make classic chicken Kiev cutlets? Prepare the necessary ingredients. You can use a mix of greens: dill, parsley, or one or the other. Take the butter directly from the refrigerator; there is no need to take it out in advance. I have two halves of chicken breast. Wash the meat in advance and dry it.

Step 2

Step 2
Sort the greens, rinse, dry and finely chop.

Step 3

Step 3
Mix chopped fresh herbs with cold butter. Divide the resulting green butter into as many parts as you plan to make chops (I got five). Roll into oval pieces. If you have time, put the butter pieces in the freezer for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Step 4
Cut each chicken fillet across the grain into 2 or 3 pieces. Basically, one fillet makes two Kiev cutlets. I got four straight ones and one from scraps.

Step 5

Step 5
Beat each fillet so that it is softer and juicier. Season with salt and pepper on each side.

Step 6

Step 6
Remove the cold green butter from the refrigerator and place it on the edge of the fillet. Roll into a log, squeezing the edges so that the oil does not leak out when frying.

Step 7

Step 7
Press each cutlet tightly with your hand to prevent them from unraveling during frying.

Step 8

Step 8
Beat the eggs in a bowl. Place each piece one at a time in the egg mixture, then in the breadcrumbs, coating each cutlet evenly. Then back into the egg mixture and breadcrumbs.

Step 9

Step 9
Fry the prepared cutlets in a large amount of oil (at least half of the cutlet is in oil) until cooked over medium heat. Serve the cutlets hot with any side dish.
