Baked Chicken Kiev

I have not tried this yet, but was pleased to find the recipe and wanted to share. I buy the frozen kievs frequently and look forward to making my own. Prep time includes the chilling of the butter mixture.

Steps

In a small bowl , combine softened butter , chives , parsley and garlic powder.
On a sheet of plastic wrap or wax paper , shape into a 3-inch by 2-inch rectangle.
Wrap well and freeze about 30 minutes or until firm.
Preheat oven to 425f degrees.
Spray a 9-inch square pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Pound chicken breasts to a quarter-inch thickness between 2 sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper.
Retrieve butter mixture from freezer and cut crosswise into 6 pieces.
Place 1 piece on centre of each chicken breast.
Fold long sides over butter , then fold ends up and secure with a wooden toothpick.
In a shallow dish , combine cornflake crumbs , parsley and paprika.
Pour buttermilk into another shallow dish.
Dip chicken pieces into buttermilk , then coat evenly with cornflake mixture.
Place coated chicken , seam side down , in prepared pan.
Bake , uncovered , about 35 minutes or until juices run clear.
Remove toothpicks and serve immediately.
