Unbreaded Chicken Kyiv
Pan-Seared Kyivan Chicken Cutlet with Keto Sides
Yes, with a tweak: absolutely no breading or flour. About 3g net carbs per serving, lower than 8 in 10 Ukrainian dishes.
What it is
A deconstructed or unbreaded version of the famous Chicken Kyiv. Instead of deep-fried and breaded, a chicken breast filled with garlic-herb butter is pan-seared or baked until cooked through, allowing the flavorful butter to melt within. Served with a side of sautéed green vegetables.
Key ingredients
Chicken breast, butter, garlic, fresh dill/parsley, salt, pepper, cooking oil (for pan-searing), green beans or broccoli (for side).
How to make it keto
Absolutely no breading or flour. Request pan-seared or baked preparation only. Ensure no sugary glaze or sauce is used. Request keto-friendly vegetable sides like steamed broccoli or green beans sautéed in butter, instead of mashed potatoes or rice.
Watch out for
Traditional breading (flour, breadcrumbs), deep-frying in questionable oils, starchy side dishes (potatoes, rice), sugary glazes or sauces.
