REC: Chicken Kiev
 

Chicken Kiev - it's what's for dinner 11/2/2008

Taken from Alton Brown's method, except I'll use boneless skinless chicken
thighs instead of chicken breast halves.

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon dried tarragon
1 teaspoon salt, plus extra for seasoning chicken
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for seasoning chicken
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
2 large whole eggs, beaten with 1 teaspoon water
2 cups dry bread crumbs

Combine butter, parsley, tarragon, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black
pepper in the bowl of a stand mixer. Place mixture on plastic wrap or waxed
paper and roll into small log; place in freezer.

Place chicken thighs, 1 at a time, between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Squirt
chicken lightly with water and squirt the top of the plastic wrap as well.
Pound to no less than 1/8-inch thickness. Season each piece of chicken with
salt and pepper.

Lay 1 chicken thigh on a new piece of plastic wrap and place 1/4 of the
compound butter and 1 tablespoon bread crumbs in the center of each thigh.
Using the plastic wrap to assist, fold in ends of thigh and roll into a log,
completely enclosing the butter; roll very tightly. Repeat with each thigh.
Place chicken in refrigerator for 2 hours, or up to overnight.

Place egg and water mixture in 1 pie pan and 2 cups bread crumbs in a
different pie pan.

Heat 1/2-inch of vegetable oil in a 12-inch saute pan over medium-high heat
until oil reaches 375 degrees F.

Dip each thigh in the egg mixture and then roll in the bread crumbs. Gently
place each thigh in oil, sealed-side down, and cook until golden brown,
approximately 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove to a cooling rack set in
sheet pan and allow to drain for before serving.

I have no idea what I'm going to serve with this. Perhaps some brussels
sprouts (from frozen, since they aren't in season). Some sort of pasta?
Maybe, maybe not.

Sounds good even though I can't eat it! I'd serve it with rice and a green
veggie.

I made rice to go along with it. And (shhhh) brussels sprouts. It was very
tasty and now I have leftovers so I don't have to worry about cooking for a
few days.

==========================

My Russian cookbook says serve with sweet green peas and skinny skinny
shoestring potatoes. I'd use rice pilaf with mushrooms or rissoto (if
I had ever made rissoto!)

Now I know why Alton Brown isn't known over here.
That's no Chicken Kiev.
Some tips :

> 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
> 1 teaspoon dried parsley
fresh is better
> 1 teaspoon dried tarragon
> 1 teaspoon salt, plus extra for seasoning chicken
> 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus extra for seasoning chicken
white pepper
lemon juice is missing


> 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
> 2 large whole eggs, beaten with 1 teaspoon water
flour is missing
Drag the pieces through flour before putting them in the eggwash
1 tablespoon _cold_ water per egg

> 2 cups dry bread crumbs
>
> Combine butter, parsley, tarragon, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black

Mixer ?
Mix with a fork and stuff the thighs.

With salt ? And then let the piece rest in the fridge over night ? No, thanks.
And frying them for 5 minutes per side ? <shudder>

You’re probably right. Speaking of beans, I just discovered that PictSweet
is now packaging frozen speckled butter beans, another of my favorites.

Jill,

Now hold on just a minute woman! I happen to live one town away from Lima,
PA!!! The lima bean capital of the world!!!

And to tell you the truth, as fresh as they are, they STILL SUCK! Worst
vegetable on the planet. YMMV. ;)

Until recently I could find speckled butter beans "fresh" at a market about
6 miles away. I love those things!

I'd invite you over to "correct" the recipe and make it as you see fit but
I've been rather busy. Worked fine for me :)

At this market they hull them for you and store them in a refrigerator.
It's the closest thing I can find to a farmers market around here. The
farmers market travels around from town to town, only open for short hours
and on certain days of the week. I'm not about to chase them down or only
shop on Tuesday between 9-12. Ridiculous!

Who needs to chase anything down? Just get their schedule of where they
are on particular days and hours and go to the site where they are at
that day.
I'd certainly welcome that option over the one I have. Our farmers
market is open *only* Saturday mornings.

Unless you haven't been paying attention (and I know you have been), I
couldn't exactly leave my mother alone to go shop 50 miles away. Farmer's
markets are highly overrated. The ones everyone talks about here, you'd
think they all sold artesian breads, eggs, steaks... that simply has not
been my experience even back in Memphis. BTW, they shut down in October
anyway and won't open up again until May.

Prior to this latest development, I would have suggested you get a
wheelchair and take mom out for just such an outing.

They just called to get my consent to do surgery. She probably won't

Taken in context it's not all that much butter per serving. It made a lot
and I'll be eating leftovers for a while.

I know, but that's what makes it what it is. :) The squirt of butter that
comes out when you slice into it. Yum!

jalapeno powder "just enough for a little oomph) to this classic dish.

LOLOL Thanks, but I'd prefer something actually edible ;) Turned out
great. I served it with rice and brussels sprouts. And now I have
leftovers. They're prepping my mother for surgery now. I'm calling family,
at least trying to. My oldest brother keeps moving and we don't really know
where he is.

You say that like you're eating the whole stick. No need to
exaggerate like that.

And unless you know some sort of magic, there's no way you could put
2TB of butter into a pounded chicken thigh without it all spilling
out all over the place as it melts out into the pan as it cooks.

Chicken Kiev is a waste of time and a makes a hell of a mess. Just
pound some chicken, dredge, fry , and top with the butter mixture.

That's no exaguration the beauty is that the butter keeps the meat tender
and moint on the inside while the outside is crispy. One of the joys is
cutting into the Kiev and havig the butter run all over the plate only to be
sopped up with and starch or a piece of crusty bread. Of course you dip and
swirl each slice of the kiev imto the butter.

Easy to fold and seal the pounded meat and seal with a toothpick

I think what you want is a supermarket. The idea of farmers markets
and market days has been around for centuries. And has only
recently started to make a comeback due to the existence of places
like Walmart and Sam's Club.

It was bad enough waiting for Dad to die hoping he'd die so you get
all his stuff. Now with Mom gone, you get it ALL and can finally
take an official, early retirement.

I hope she lives for another 10 years just to spite you.

You really are a total ass, aren't you. That was a statement, not a
question. Dickhead. Maybe YOU will die and leave us all the hell alone.

C'mon Steve, for once, be compassionate. I know you can do it.

Think about what this'd be like with your OWN mom.
