Chicken Kiev8 chicken breast halves Remove skin from breasts and cut chicken away from bone. Be careful not to tear the meat. Each half should be in 1 piece. Place a long strip of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Lay the chicken breasts on this with the side you cut from the bone down. Leave 3 to 4 inches between each breast. Place another strip of plastic wrap over them. Pat down to seal. With the flat side of wooden mallet, pound the cutlets until not quite 1/4 inch thick. Peel off the top piece of plastic wrap and throw away. Turn chicken over and sprinkle with salt, pepper, onion and parsley. Cut the stick of butter into 8 sticks. Place a stick of butter at the end of a cutlet and roll like a jellyroll, tucking in the sides. Press the ends to seal well. Dust with flour, roll in beaten egg, then roll in bread crumbs. Chill for 3 to 4 hours. Fry chicken rolls in deep hot fat until brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Put into a flat casserole. Twenty minutes before serving, place in a medium hot oven (about 325 degrees F).
