Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the garlic herb butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For the chicken
  • 4 pieces boneless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Mix softened butter with parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate until firm.
  2. Butterfly the chicken breasts and place a hunk of flavored butter inside each. Roll tightly and tuck in the ends.
  3. Coat each chicken roll in flour, dip in beaten egg, and dredge in breadcrumbs.
Cooking
  1. Preheat air fryer to 180°C (360°F).
  2. Spritz or brush the Kiev with oil for extra crispiness.
  3. Place in the air fryer basket and cook for 18-22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and juices run clear.
  4. 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. Use parchment paper or spray oil to avoid mess during cooking.
