Dairy-Free Chicken Kiev

Ingredients

• 4 large Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 8 tbsp Dairy-free butter
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tbsp Fresh dill, chopped
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1/4 tsp Black pepper
• 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup Egg substitute
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp Olive oil

Instructions

1. 1Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, combine the 8 tablespoons of softened dairy-free butter with the 2 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh dill, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly. Shape this mixture into a log, then place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 15 minutes.
2. 2Place each of the 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a rolling pin or meat mallet to pound each chicken breast to an even 1/4-inch thickness.
3. 3Remove the chilled dairy-free butter log from the refrigerator and carefully cut it into 4 equal pieces. Place one piece of the chilled butter mixture in the center of each pounded chicken breast.
4. 4Fold each chicken breast over the butter filling, tucking in the sides to completely enclose it. If needed, secure the edges with toothpicks to prevent the butter from leaking out during cooking.
5. 5Prepare three shallow dishes. Place the 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour in the first dish, the 1/4 cup of egg substitute in the second dish, and the 1 cup of breadcrumbs in the third dish.
6. 6Dredge each filled chicken breast first in the flour, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dip it into the egg substitute, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken breast thoroughly with the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to make sure they adhere well.
7. 7Heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Carefully place the breaded chicken breasts into the hot skillet. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until they are golden brown.
8. 8Transfer the oven-safe skillet containing the chicken breasts directly into the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), and the dairy-free butter inside is fully melted.
9. 9Carefully remove the chicken breasts from the skillet. Remember to remove any toothpicks before serving the Dairy-Free Chicken Kiev.
