Chicken Kiev

You always knew it was either a holiday of special occasion in the house when I make Chicken Kiev. I only roll this recipe out for these special events, because when my daughters were young, I would only make this for birthday dinners.  I also got into the habit of making it for Christmas eve dinner, so it became a special memory for us.

I will chop the chives, slice the butter, prepare the egg wash and flour dip, and make sure to buy the best chicken breasts I can find. The process of making the Kiev is just as much fun as eating it.

I wanted to have a special recipe or two, that everyone really looked forward only at certain times of the year. Chicken Kiev is a warm and inviting meal, with the moist flavorful chicken, and buttery crust.

Serve the Chicken Kiev over rice for a complete meal. I like to offer finely chopped red onion and soy sauce to sprinkle on the rice for an added touch of flavor.
