Recipe for Famous Chicken Kiev

1. First prepare green butter: chop greens finely, mix with soft butter, add grated cheese of any kind, lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Mix everything well and shape the butter into 2 rolls. Wrap them into film and put away into the fridge.

1. Divide the breast into large and small fillets.

1. Give them a good beating-up with a hammer through a film, but try to do it carefully so as not to break up the fillets.

1. Put the cold butter on the middle of a large fillet piece, salt, pepper.

1. Place a small piece of fillet on top and wrap it up in large piece so it will look like an oval patty cake. If there is a bone, it had better be on the outside.

1. Roll the resulting patties in flour, then in eggs and finally in coating crumbs. When the coating has been done properly it will keep the butter inside during frying, which is important.
2. Let the patties stay in the fridge for 10-15 minutes, then dip them into egg once again and again into crumbs.
3. Fry quickly on well-heated oil until they acquire a nicely brownish crust, on all sides.

1. Take the patties off heat and put them into the oven for 10 minutes at 356 degrees to make them done inside.
2. Serve hot.
