chicken Kiev
Garlic-stuffed poultry
Chicken Kiev is a dish of boneless chicken breast pounded thin, wrapped around a core of cold garlic-herb butter, then breaded and fried or baked.
When cut open, the melted butter flows out—the signature feature.
Despite the name suggesting Ukrainian origin, the dish likely developed in European or American restaurants during the mid-20th century: The chicken Kiev arrived sizzling, butter pooling on the plate.
