When it comes to feeding an entire family, in which there are perhaps also children, it is very difficult to cook something that satisfies everyone's taste. There are very few recipes that can do this but what we will show today is certainly one of them. The idea is to fill several chicken breasts with really tasty ingredients. This recipe is also known as Chicken Kiev, a dish that should not be missing from the family recipe book! 

Here are the ingredients to prepare the stuffed chicken breasts: 

  • 6 chicken breasts 
  • 5 oz (150 g) of all-purpose flour (00)
  • 3.5 oz (100 g) of breadcrumbs 
  • 3.5 oz (100 g) of butter 
  • 2.5 oz (70 g) of grated Parmesan cheese
  • Parsley 
  • 3 eggs 
  • 2 cloves of garlic 
  • Juice of one lemon 
  • Vegetable oil

Dip the chicken slices first in the flour, then in the egg, and finally in the breadcrumbs, eliminating any excesses at each step.

5. In a pan, heat the vegetable oil. When it is hot, fry the chicken slices until they are browned on both sides.
