The Origin of Chicken Kieb

Chicken Kieb originated in the 1920s at the Continental Hotel in Kiev as a dish created for upscale dining and to impress visiting dignitaries. However, the concept of breaded and fried chicken cutlets has been present in the region for centuries. Russian chefs who trained in France in the mid-1800s added the element of stuffing the chicken cutlets with butter, which evolved into the modern version of Chicken Kieb. The traditional Chicken Kieb uses minced chicken cutlets and is seasoned with dill seed, garlic, black pepper, and other spices. It is breaded and fried to create a crispy exterior and juicy, flavorful interior.
