James Beard's Chicken Kiev image

I've had this recipe for probably 20 years. We always let the kids pick dinner for their birthdays and all 5 of them pick this every year. I got this recipe out of one of James Beard's cookbooks and it is fantastic. Time does not reflect freezing time for the butter.

1/2 cup butter
1 garlic clove
2 teaspoons chives
2 teaspoons parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon rosemary
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 egg, beaten
1 tablespoon water
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup flour

Steps:

  • Combine butter, garlic, chives, parsley, salt, rosemary, and pepper. Blend well. Roll into a 3/4-inch diameter log in waxed paper. Freeze until very hard.
