Herb Kiev-style cutlets are a true masterpiece of Ukrainian cuisine, embodying the harmony of juicy chicken fillet and fragrant butter infused with fresh herbs. This recipe has its roots in the classic Kiev dish known for its crispy golden crust and tender, juicy meat inside. However, the addition of dill, cilantro, and garlic gives this version a special zest and freshness. Each cutlet hides a melting buttery center that reveals a wealth of flavors with every bite. The multi-step breading makes the crust especially crispy, while a secret addition—some vodka during frying—keeps the dish light. The cutlets pair perfectly with a side of fresh vegetables or mashed potatoes, turning the meal into a true celebration of taste.

According to William Pokhlebkin, the dish that eventually transformed into the Kiev cutlet first appeared in the St. Petersburg Merchants' Club under the name Novo-Mikhailovsky cutlets (in honor of the nearby Mikhailovsky Palace). But it became a hit at restaurant feasts in Soviet times, thanks to the chefs from Intourist. Pokhlebkin writes that for foreigners accustomed to using not only a fork but also a knife, Kiev cutlets were a cruel test. The thing is that when they tried to cut the cutlet, it suddenly shot out a stream of oil, splashing their jackets. It got to the point that foreign guests began to be provided with special instructions regulating the handling of the insidious cutlets.
