Chicken Kiev With Russian Mushroom Sauce Recipes

CHICKEN KIEV WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Place all the herbs, chopped roughly, into a food blender. Blend herbs until fine and mix with melted butter.
• Carefully lay the flattened chicken breast on a buttered surface (as they tend to stick to wood when they are thin) and evenly spread the breast with butter. Be sure to reach the ends.
• Carefully roll the breast closed and pin it shut with a tooth pick if you prefer. This will keep the rolled breast in place throughout the baking process.
• Place the bread and seasoning into a food processor and blend until fine.
• Dip chicken breast into whisked egg and straight into the spiced breadcrumbs and arrange it in an oven safe dish.
• When you have finished with all your chicken breasts, sprinkle the olive oil over the Kiev's and bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.
• Heat the oil in a medium saucepan. Sauté the garlic in the oil and add the mushrooms.
• As soon as the mushrooms start to lose their moisture, add the butter.
• Add the flour and remove from heat.
• Use a wooden spoon to mix the flour into the moisture and melted butter.
• Add milk and stir.
• Put your pan back onto the heat, stirring constantly until your sauce becomes thick. Take off the heat and add salt and black pepper to taste.
