Chicken Breasts a la Kiev
From Jeff (USA)

Serves 4

Ingredients:

4 large chicken breast fillets
butter
salt and pepper
flour
1 egg, slightly beaten
2 Tbsp. water
fine bread crumbs


1 cup cooked mushrooms

Directions:
Pound the fillets very flat and thin, then shape butter into rolls to fill each fillet. Chill the butter in a bowl of cracked ice. Sprinkle the fillets with salt and pepper, then take one roll of butter at a time and place on the fillet. Fold in the ends and roll, covering butter. Skewer with a wooden pick. Fill and roll remaining fillets. Coat the rolls with flour and dip in the beaten egg diluted with water, and then in the breadcrumbs. Brown quickly in hot butter and drain. Place in a 400 degree Fahrenheit oven for about 5 minutes, then remove picks and serve immediately. For a low fat variation you can replace the butter stuffing with cooked mushrooms.
