    Step 6:

  • Soften the butter ahead of time. Finely chop the chives and parsley. The garlic can be minced or put through a press. Next, dunk the lemon briefly in boiling water, squeeze out the juice, and grate the zest. Then mix the butter, chives, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, and zest together thoroughly in a bowl. Chill the mixture in the freezer — it's easiest to wrap it in plastic wrap or foil first. Now prep the chicken: rinse the breasts, then wrap them in plastic or drop them in a bag and gently roll them out with a rolling pin on the counter. The goal is to get them nice and thin; don't pound them. Season the chicken with salt and pepper to taste. Wrap each piece of tender breast around a chunk of the chilled herb butter, making sure to seal it well so none of the "juice" leaks out during frying. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl with a little water (1 tbsp). Dip each Kiev first in the beaten egg, then in flour, then coat it in breadcrumbs. Now they're ready to cook — deep-fry the cutlets for 9 to 11 minutes. Any leftover herb butter is always handy for something else, like spreading on sandwiches.
