Chicken Kiev
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chicken Kiev is a popular dish of boneless chicken breast pounded and rolled around cold, unsalted garlic butter, then breaded and either fried or baked.
This famous method of preparing chicken is probably not of Ukrainian origin as the name Kiev, the national capital, would imply. The Russian food historian William Pokhlebkin claimed that Chicken Kiev was invented in the Moscow Merchants' Club in the early 20th century and was renamed Chicken Kiev (kotleta po-kievski) in one of the Soviet restaurants in later years.[1]
There are other dishes similar to Chicken Kiev. Particularly popular is Chicken Cordon Bleu with a cheese and ham filling instead of butter or just cheese.
