What it is
A classic Ukrainian dish featuring a pounded chicken breast wrapped around a generous knob of herb and garlic butter. This keto version is pan-fried or baked without any breading, ensuring a rich, savory burst of melted butter with every bite.
Key ingredients
Chicken breast, butter, fresh garlic, fresh dill/parsley, salt, pepper. Cooked in additional butter or oil.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request *no breading* whatsoever. Confirm it is cooked in ample fat (butter or oil). Request keto-friendly sides such as steamed green beans or broccoli, *not* potatoes or rice.
Watch out for
The defining feature of traditional Chicken Kiev is its breaded crust, which must be strictly removed. Often served with carb-heavy sides like mashed potatoes or rice.
