Chicken Kiev, also known as chicken Kyiv[1][2][3] and chicken à la Kyiv,[a] is a dish made of chicken fillet pounded and rolled around cold butter, then coated with egg and bread crumbs, and either fried or baked.[5][6] Since fillets are often referred to as suprêmes in professional cookery,[7] the dish is also called "suprême de volaille à la Kiev".[8][9] Stuffed chicken breast is generally known in Russian and Ukrainian cuisines as côtelette de volaille.[10][11][12] Though it has disputed origins, the dish is particularly popular in the post-Soviet states, as well as in several other countries of the former Eastern Bloc,[12][13] and in the English-speaking world.[14]
