Microwaved Chicken Kiev Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.Start by making the garlic and herb butter. In a small bowl, mix together softened butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
• STEP 2.Take a chicken breast and make a slit in the side to create a pocket. Stuff the pocket with a spoonful of the garlic and herb butter.
• STEP 3.Coat the stuffed chicken breast in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
• STEP 4.Place the chicken breasts on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a microwave-safe lid or microwave-safe plastic wrap.
• STEP 5.Microwave on high for 5-6 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden brown.
• STEP 6.Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and the chicken to become even more tender and flavorful.
• STEP 7.Serve the microwaved chicken Kiev with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables.

Cooking Tips

• Make sure to use softened butter for the garlic and herb butter mixture. This will make it easier to mix and stuff into the chicken breasts.
• If you prefer a crispier coating, you can lightly spray the chicken breasts with cooking spray before microwaving.
• To check if the chicken is cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken breast. It should read 165°F (74°C).
