Take the chicken and dust it with flour, then roll it in the egg and finally the breadcrumbs.
Step 9: Refrigerate the chicken
Place your breaded chicken kiev in a shallow dish, then cover and place in the fridge for 30 minutes. This makes the butter less likely to leak out of the chicken during cooking.
