Chicken Kyiv with fragrant herb butter inside — the kind your whole family will love.

Chicken Kyiv is made from chicken meat wrapped around a piece of cold butter with herbs and garlic, then coated in breadcrumbs and fried until golden and crisp. When you cut it open, the butter melts into the chicken like a sauce. We’ll serve it with creamy mashed potatoes.

Many people try to cook Slavic dishes at home, but it’s hard to know what the real recipe should be, how the dough or filling should feel, and what the final dish is actually supposed to taste like. That’s where I can help. In my classes, you’ll learn Slavic comfort food step by step: blini, pelmeni, pirozhki, chebureki, Chicken Kyiv, pies, syrniki, borscht, and more. I’ll show you the small details that make a big difference — how to shape, seal, fry, boil, season, and serve these dishes properly. The goal is not just to follow a recipe once, but to understand the technique, avoid common mistakes, and recreate the same taste again at home. After each live session, you’ll also receive a detailed written recipe so you can make the dish again with confidence.

Preparation

During the class, we will make aromatic butter and freeze it to place inside the cutlets. Before cooking, it should be cold but not too hard — soft enough to mix with other ingredients, wrap in plastic wrap or a bag, and freeze for about 20 minutes. Then we'll do the rest. Also, the cutlets are fried in deep oil and then baked in the oven. If you don't want to deep-fry them, you can brown them in a skillet and finish cooking them in the oven, but there's a risk that the butter might leak out — especially when using minced chicken, as it doesn't hold butter as tightly as whole fillet. Along with this, we'll make mashed potatoes. You can peel the potatoes ahead of time. You can boil some broccoli or peas to go with the potatoes for added fiber, but this is optional. Equipment you'll need: - mixing bowl for minced chicken (with salt, pepper, and seasonings) - plastic wrap for freezing butter - a few shallow bowls or plates — one for beaten egg, one for flour, one for breadcrumbs - deep-frying pot (to fully submerge cutlets) - baking dish for finishing in the oven - pot and potato masher - oil thermometer (It's great if you have one, but if not, I'll tell you how to tell when the oil is ready) - paper towels — to drain excess oil
