Categories    : Chicken

  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  3              whole  boneless skinless chicken breast
  6                tbl  herb butter of choice
  1                cup  Panko bread crumbs
  2                tbl  flour, all-purpose
                        Olive oil for frying
                        butter to flavor olive oil with, optional
  1              whole  egg -- beaten

Make your favorite herb butter or herb butter with cheese and freeze until hard ahead of time.

Lay the chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound until the breast is a uniform thickness all over of about 1/4 " or so with a rolling pin or similar heavy object.

Repeat with all the breasts.

starting at one end of the breast place 2 tbl of the herb butter and then roll the breast up aroudn the pat jelly roll fashion. .  Use a toothpick to hold the roll closed if necessary.

Make an egg wash with the egg and about 2 tbl water beaten together.

Mis the flour and bread crumbs together in a separate bowl.

Dip each breast roll first in the egg wash then in the bread crumb mixture.

Heat oil and optional butter in a skillet to approximately 350 F.

Fry the kiev's on all sides until the chicken is thoroughly cooked OR you can lightly brown them and then place on a baking sheet and bake in a 340 oven for 20 minutes or so if you prefer.

VARIATIONS:

Fill the chicken breast not only with the herb butter, but add vegetables like finely chopped broccoli.

Chicken Cordon Bleu.  Add a thin layer of ham, and a thin layer of cheese of your choice to the chicken breast before adding the butter and rolling it up.  I recommend the baking method for this one as it will be thicker.

Description:
  "A variety of different flavors can be achieved by changing the herb butter you use."
