Koch Foods Chicken Kiev
What it is
This is a breaded chicken breast stuffed with seasoned butter. The chicken is typically formed around a core of butter, which melts and bastes the chicken as it cooks. The breading provides a crispy exterior. It is a pre-prepared item designed for convenient cooking. The chicken is usually boneless and skinless before being breaded and filled.
How people cook with it

To prepare, place the frozen chicken Kiev on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through and the breading is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach a safe level. Alternatively, it can be pan-fried or air-fried according to package directions. Ensure the butter filling is hot and melted before serving. Avoid overcooking, which can dry out the chicken.
