Instructions
Prepare The Herb Garlic Butter Filling
- In a small bowl mix together with a fork the butter, minced cloves, mined chives, tarragon, fresh parsley, and salt. Cover and put in freezer for 30 minutes.
Prepare The Chicken
- Flatten each chicken breast using plastic wrap on top of each breast. Take a meat mallet and pound it till all the pieces are of the same even thickness. Make sure it is going to be thin enough so later on when you add a filling to it you will be able to wrap it. When the butter has chilled for half hour take it out. Take out plastic wrap and place the pounded chicken breast on it. Then use a tablespoon to scoop out the herb garlic butter filling and place in the middle of the chicken. Use more or less needed depending on each size of the chicken breast. Fold all the chicken to the center. Then take the plastic wrap gather it and cover it. Make sure it is nice and tight. Twist the plastic wrap at the top. It will look like a giant teardrop. Then repeat this pattern till all the chicken is done. Place on a plate and put in the freezer for 40 minutes. Chicken will cold but not frozen. You can prepare the breading while it is in the freezer.
Bread The Chicken Kiev
- After the chicken has been in the freezer for 40 minutes take it out. Take a small bowl and 2 medium size bowls out. Place the 2 eggs in the small bowl and beat the eggs. In a medium size bowl add the almond flour and coconut flour. Use a fork and mix the flours till well combined. In another medium size bowl add the crushed pork rinds.
- Dip chicken in almond and coconut flour mixture first. Then dip in the beaten eggs followed by dipping it into the crushed pork rinds. Place all the breaded chicken on a plate. Freeze for 15 min before frying.
Cook The Chicken Kiev
- Heat up your oil for frying in a deep fryer and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for how much oil to add. We used avocado oil for this recipe. Make sure you don’t fill it to the top so you don’t get hurt. You can also preheat the oven at this time to 400º F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- When the deep fryer is up to temperature and the chicken has been chilled for 15 minutes you can now fry it about 1-2 minutes or until lightly golden. Take the chicken out and place on the lined baking sheet. Repeat this till all the chicken has been deep fried.
- Put the chicken in the oven and cook for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool for 5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for garnish.
Notes
- This recipe is time consuming but worth the effort! Great for a date night of cooking together on the weekend.
