Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Mix softened butter with parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate until firm.
- Butterfly the chicken breasts and place a hunk of flavored butter inside each. Roll tightly and tuck in the ends.
- Coat each chicken roll in flour, dip in beaten egg, and dredge in breadcrumbs.
- Preheat air fryer to 180°C (360°F).
- Spritz or brush the Kiev with oil for extra crispiness.
- Place in the air fryer basket and cook for 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and juices run clear.
- Let rest for 3 minutes before serving.
Notes
Make sure to seal the edges well to keep the butter inside. If there are pink juices, cook a few minutes longer.
