New Recipe: Chicken Kiev

I have always LOVED Chicken Kiev. The problem being, it is loaded (literally) with butter. I have been looking into recreating this recipe for a while. So, without further ado, here it is!

Chicken Kiev 
Created by: Kate Pezzy

Ingredients

• Chicken Breasts
• Coconut oil
• Thyme
• Butter (optional)
• Whole Wheat Crackers (crushed up)
• 1 egg
• flour
• Tooth picks

STEPS

1. Take your chicken breast and pound it out flat

2. Scrap out some coconut oil and put it in the middle of the chicken breast

3. Sprinkle on some thyme (& salt and pepper if desired)

4. Begin to bring the sides (the longest ones) into the middle. You will need them to over lap. 

5.Place a tooth pick into the chicken where the sides are over lapping. Bring in the bottom and top so you can't see the stuff inside. Again, place tooth picks into the chicken to hold it shut

6. Beat the egg in a dish. Dunk the chicken into the egg and then into the flour

7. Place the chicken back into the egg then into the crushed up crackers

8. Place the chicken onto a cookie sheet. Place the side where the edges are folded in down on the cookie sheet (Do you know what I'm talking about? So the pan kind of holds the edges down, ya know? This is awkward....)

9. Bake in a 400* F oven until golden brown (until the chicken is no longer pink inside)

10. ENJOY! I paired mine with potatoes & green beans :)

P.S. Don't forget to take out the tooth picks!
