Chicken Kyiv (Keto-style, no breading)
Pan-Seared Chicken Kyiv with Herb Butter (No Breading)
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely crucial to request no breading (breadcrumbs or flour). About 2g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Ukrainian dishes.
What it is
A skinless chicken breast pounded flat, rolled around a cylinder of herbed garlic butter, and then pan-seared or baked until golden and juicy, ensuring the butter remains molten inside. This keto version omits the traditional breadcrumb coating.
Key ingredients
Chicken breast, butter, fresh dill/parsley, garlic, salt, pepper, oil for searing.
How to make it keto
Absolutely crucial to request no breading (breadcrumbs or flour). Confirm no other carb fillers are used in the butter mixture. Focus on pan-searing or baking instead of deep-frying if possible (though deep frying without breading is fine too).
Watch out for
The traditional breadcrumb coating is the main carb issue. Some restaurants might use a small amount of flour for dredging even without full breading. Hidden sugars in herb mixes are unlikely but possible.
