🇺🇦 Ukraine recipe
Chicken Kyiv
Perhaps the most internationally famous Ukrainian dish, Chicken Kyiv is an elegant creation that delivers a dramatic moment at the table: cutting through the golden, shatteringly crisp breadcrumb coating releases a rush of hot, fragrant herb butter from within the tender chicken breast. The origins are debated, but the technique is pure Ukrainian ingenuity. A properly made Chicken Kyiv is a triumph of precision, patience, and the understanding that great food rewards careful preparation.
