CHICKEN A LA KIEV

Ingredients:

5 pc. chicken breast
1/2 head garlic, minced
1 tbsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground white pepper
frozen butter
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 beaten egg

Procedure:
Remove skin of chicken breast. Separate meat from the bone. With one chicken breast you can make 2 pieces of "Ala Kiev". Place the meat between 2 pieces of wax paper. Pound until spread thinly. you mayy use the flat side of knife in pounding.

Rub meat with minced garlic. Combine salt and pepper. Sprinkle on meat.

Cut frozen butter into sticks, 3/4" thick and 2 1/2" long. Place 1 piece in the middle of the meat and roll like drumstick. Be sure the butter is well enveloped in the meat or it will ooze out while being fried.

Cover thoroughly with flour, dip in beaten egg and roll on bread crumbs. Place in refrigerator for 1 hour to set the coating.

Deep-fry for 5 minutes and serve immediately.

Cooking tip: Instead of butter, try stuffing a thick stick of quick-melt cheese in your 'Ala Kiev'.
