Quick Chicken Kiev Recipe

Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Yield: 4 Servings

25 5 30

Ingredients

5 tablespoons butter, softened, divided
1/2 teaspoon minced chives
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
1/3 cup cornflake crumbs
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon paprika

Directions

In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons butter, chives, garlic powder and pepper; shape into four cubes. Cover and freeze until firm, about 10 minutes.
Flatten chicken breast halves to 1/4-in. thickness. Place a butter cube in the center of each. Fold long sides over butter; fold ends up and secure with a toothpick.
In a shallow bowl, combine the cornflakes, Parmesan cheese, parsley and paprika. Melt remaining butter. Dip chicken into butter; coat evenly with cornflake mixture. Place seam side down in a microwave-safe dish.
Microwave, uncovered, on high for 5-6 minutes or until chicken juices run clear and a meat thermometer reads 170°. Remove toothpicks. Drizzle chicken with pan drippings if desired. Yield: 4 servings.
