I've had this recipe for probably 20 years. We always let the kids pick dinner for their birthdays and all 5 of them pick this every year. I got this recipe out of one of James Beard's cookbooks and it is fantastic. Time does not reflect freezing time for the butter.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
1 garlic clove
2 teaspoons chives
2 teaspoons parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon rosemary
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon water
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup flour

Directions

1
Combine butter, garlic, chives, parsley, salt, rosemary, and pepper. Blend well. Roll into a 3/4-inch diameter log in waxed paper. Freeze until very hard.
2
Blend egg and water. Pound each breast to 1/4-inch thick. Cut butter into 4 pieces. Place a piece of the butter in the chicken. Roll the chicken around the butter and skewer with toothpicks to keep closed.
3
Dip chicken in flour, egg mixture and then in flour.
4
Fry about 15 minutes in the hot vegetable oil. Turn occasionally. Drain on paper towels.

This was exceptional and DH loved it! Served it with Recipe Seasoned Long Grain & Wild Rice Mix- Uncle Ben's Style and they went very well together! Made in support of LazyMe in this difficult time for her. Jelly

I can see why your kids pick this dish for their birthdays, lazyme. It is terrific. I usually always bought the pre-packaged chicken kiev only because I thought it was less complicated. But I'm so glad I found this recipe because they are so much better and couldn't really be much easier. I used really thin chicken breasts so there wasn't a lot of pounding to do and they turned out great. I will never make those other ones again after having these! Thanks so much.
