This Week’s Sunday Supper is all about “Retro Recipes”. It’s something that take us back in time. To be honest, there’s no favorite recipe in my family. Everyone just loves mom’s cooking and we never complain about how she does it. So, this made me realize I need to start something that I can pass on to my generation.
I know Frederick loves chicken cordon bleu so much. He had it the first time when he was in Junior High and fell in love since then. When I browsed for the retro food recipes, I could not stop thinking about chicken cordon bleu, but then I wanted to try something new at the same time. For me, it’s a stress reliever to be in the kitchen and mess around. So, this week inspiration came from Ukaine, Kiev; called Chicken Kiev. This is a popular breaded cutlet dish of boneless chicken breast, rolled around garlic butter with herbs. Another great thing about this dish is you can make it ahead of time and keep it in the freezer. Yes, homemade frozen food!
Baked Chicken Kiev
Ingredients:
- 8 tbs (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 tbs dried parsley
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt, plus more for seasoning chicken
- ¼ tsp black pepper, plus more for seasoning chicken
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast, halves (makes 4)
- 2 cups panko bread or bread crumbs
- 2 eggs, beaten with 1 tsp water
- ¼ cup finely shredded Parmesan cheese
Directions:
- Mix the butter with parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place the mixture on plastic wrap or waxed paper and roll into small log. Cover and freeze about 30 minutes or until firm.
- Flatten the chicken breast – 1 at a time between sheets of plastic wrap. Pound to no less than 1/8-inch thickness. Season each piece of chicken with salt and pepper.
- Lay 1 chicken breast and place 1/5 of the compound butter. Fold long sides of chicken over the mixture, fold up ends and roll breast into a log, completely enclosing the butter, roll very tightly. Wrap each chicken in a plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to overnight.
- Heat oven to 350°F.
- Melt the remaining 1/5 of the compound butter and combine with bread crumbs and parmesan cheese until fully combined.
- Dip the chicken into the egg mixture and then roll in bread crumbs mixture. Gently place each breast on a baking sheet, sealed-side down. Bake for 20 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in center.
- Remove to a cooling rack set in sheet pan and let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Oh I am tempted to make chicken Kiev later on for dinner today, it looks phenomenal and I haven’t had it in ages!
Great recipe! Love the butter flavors!
I looooooove that compound butter in the middle. It makes everything seem so rich!
That looks delicious!
Such a yummy dish!!! I definitely remember eating Chicken Kiev when I was growing up….
I love chicken kiev, but have never made it myself. Looks great, I think I need to give it a try!
this was my FAVOURITE dinner growing up
That looks so good, I have to make this!!
I love chicken kiev! My mom used to buy a frozen version of these as a kid, and I loved them. This make at home version is so much better!
One of my favorite dishes EVER! My mom only made it 2 times when I was a kid but boy do I have fond memories of this chicken. I’m pinning this so I can make it for myself!
Gotta love mom’s cooking. This chicken looks awesome!
Oh my heavens! I can just imagine how moist and flavorful the compound butter makes this!
Yum! This is a great way to start your own traditions.
I’ve always wanted to make this. It looks delicious.
The chicken kiev from my youth had red peppers, and I hated them. This version sounds much better!
Your chicken keiv looks so good. I have to make this soon!
Oh I used to love chicken kiev! I still do although I haven’t eaten it in so many years! Thanks for the trip down memory lane
Chicken kiev is one of those fantastic classic meals that is just great for weeknight meals. Yours looks so good!
So very fancy, Linda. But your photos and instructions are inspiring and make Chicken Kiev look “do-able.” Thank you!
I don’t think I’ve ever had chicken kiev, but from your photos and recipe, I can tell it would be a favorite of mine!
I made this a few years ago. It’s a nice classic dish that is still relevant today unlike many of the retro recipes.
Loving everything about this dish!
I have always wondered what Chicken Kiev was – thank you for this
It looks great 
I want to make this right now (which would be hard to do since I’m at the office but whatevs). YUM! You can’t go wrong with chicken wrapped around herbed butter and then battered ‘n baked to that gorgeous golden crisp. Your side of garlicky greens looks delish too.
Chicken wrapped around butter and then cooked in it – be still my buttah lovin’ heart!
thanks for the step by step instruction photos. This makes chicken kiev seem so doable. I will be making this dish really soon. Looks absolutly amazing!
I love Chicken Gordon Bleu and this recipe have some similarity. Never try cheese and butter with chicken but I bet it taste great! You have a great post too!
I didn’t know chicken kiev was this simple! I’m looking to expand my savory recipes, so I’ll add this to the list!
Wow, easy and flavorful! Love it!
My mouth is watering – this looks fabulous.
I love retro recipes and this is a classic. Garlicky crispy chicken – mmm what a lovely way to have dinner
