Chicken Kiev is a popular dish that originated in Ukraine. It consists of a chicken breast pounded and rolled around a filling of garlic butter, herbs, and sometimes cheese. The chicken is then breaded and deep-fried or baked, resulting in a crispy exterior and a flavorful, melted filling. This dish is often served with a side of vegetables or mashed potatoes. Chicken Kiev gained international fame in the mid-20th century and is now enjoyed in many countries, often featured in restaurants and home cooking alike. Its rich taste and appealing presentation make it a favorite among many diners.
