Preparation Steps
- Start by softening unsalted butter in a mixing bowl. Add minced garlic and finely chopped parsley, seasoning with salt and pepper. Mix well until combined, then shape the butter into a log on parchment paper. Wrap it securely and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- While the garlic herb butter chills, prepare your chicken breasts. Butterfly each chicken breast by slicing it horizontally but not all the way through, then gently flatten it to around 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
- Remove the garlic herb butter from the refrigerator once it's firm. Take a portion and place it in the center of each flattened chicken breast. Fold the sides over, then roll the chicken tightly.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken roll in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and coat with breadcrumbs.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the breaded Chicken Kiev on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Once baked, let the Chicken Kiev rest for about 5 minutes before serving with sides like creamy mashed potatoes or a fresh salad.

Notes
For best results, chill the filled chicken rolls before baking to maintain filling integrity.
