40 minutes
Garlic butter stuffed chicken breasts are a refined dish of Russian cuisine, captivating with the harmonious combination of juicy meat and aromatic filling. This recipe is likely inspired by the French 'Chicken Kiev,' but gains its unique flavor from the rich garlic aroma and freshness of parsley. The preparation involves breading, giving the breasts a crispy golden crust that conceals a tender and melting filling. The dish pairs perfectly with fresh or pickled vegetables, complementing them with a rich creamy taste. It is ideal for a cozy home dinner or festive table where flavor and sophistication are valued in every bite.
