Chicken Kiev Recipe

Saturday morning I woke up very early and drug my kids out of bed to do a 5k.  I'm not a runner so I walked it with the hopes of finishing within an hour.  I didn't get an official time but according to my phone it was just over an hour.  I'm doing another 5k this coming Saturday and I intend to beat my time by at least 5 minutes.  Eventually I would like to be able to run a 5k and beyond...but for now walking one in under and hour will be my goal.  I made this yummy Chicken Kiev for dinner last night and had fun using my meat club.  I don't remember where the recipe came from..

You'll need Softened Butter, Chives, Garlic, Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, Crushed Corn Flakes, Parsley, Paprika, and Buttermilk.

In a small bowl mix together very soft butter,  minced Garlic Clove, and finely minced Chives.  First time I've ever made a gourmet butter and it was fun.  I gave it a little taste and boy does it have a kick with the raw Garlic.

Using parchment or wax paper shape the butter into a 3 inch by 2 inch block.  Place the Butter block in the freezer for 30 minutes or until firm.

In a shallow bowl combine crushed corn flakes, Paprika, and Chopped Parsley.

In another shallow bowl add your Buttermilk.

Put your Chicken into a zip top bag so Chicken bits don't fly all over your kitchen also you will need to get your meat club out.  Pound the chicken until it is about 1/4 inch thickness.

Take your butter out of the freezer and separate it into 4 equal portions.

Place the butter into the middle of the flattened Chicken

Roll it up and secure with a Toothpick.

Dip the Chicken into the Buttermilk

Then evenly coat the chicken with the Corn Flakes mix

Place chicken in a 13x 9 baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray

Bake 425 Degrees 35-40 minutes until done

Enjoy!
