Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, mash together all Kiev butter ingredients until lemon juice is incorporated into the butter.
  2. Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise and create a pocket in each breast for stuffing.
  3. Stuff each chicken breast with 1 Tbsp of Kiev butter and seal the pocket with a pinch.
  4. Season both sides of the chicken breast with salt and pepper.
Breading Process
  1. Set up three breading stations: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with Panko crumbs.

Cooking
