Watching a cooking show on PBS and it is discussing the dish’s sudden popularity that seemed to surge in the 70’s in the US.
The host traveled to Ukraine and sampled several before finding a suitable street food vendor who surprised him with the best results. Instead of a pounded chicken breast filled with butter and spices and coated and deep fried, the street vendor used ground chicken. This helped the bread crumbs adhere and resulted in a handheld snack that wouldn’t explode hot butter everywhere or leave a separate shell of breadcrumbs from rubbery chicken breast.
The original chicken Kyiv was made this way ,with ground chicken, during Soviet times because they were using up scraps of food.
Interesting
And delicious!

Aldi has a decent chicken Kiev, but the chicks cordon bleu is better. When I was a single, they were 79 cents, then 89 cents, then 99 cents and I used to eat a lot of them. I think they are over $2.00 now.

Keith, I can remember when Aldi was the “poor folks grocery store”
Not so much anymore. They went kinda upscale with their specialty items and started charging more on practically everything

Theyre still cheaper than Walmart. Oddly, they built near all the Walmarts here

And you have to pay a refundable 25 cents for a cart and take your own bags or boxes. Or buy theirs for 8 cents apiece.

X2 on the chicken cordon bleu from Aldi's.

Yep wife and all the women's folk in the friend groups act like aldi is some kind high class establishment. Love going because " it's cheaper and the quality is so much better !"

Idk have seen much difference between them and the piggly wiggly.... Well depending on whos working there

Kroger in Morgantown WV blows every other grocery store out of the water. Huge selection and quality . We took a trip there today. And I think they have very good prices
Just look at these cheeses

Aint never had no kyiv...or cordon blue neither

I’m thinking Cornish game hens on grill with corn on the cob (grilled) and a nice salad !!! That sounds good

Cornish hens rule!!!

Nice !

Never cared for ground chicken, but good grilled chicken I can get behind that.

Where have YOU been?!?

Your Kroger looks kinda like a HYVEE here I prefer Fareway, simple things but better meat.

Been rough here and have been in a funky mood and choose not to post so I didn’t end up with a ban.

I gotcha. Been there myself.
Troubled brain

The largest grocery store in America is a Kroger's Marketplace in Springdale, which is over 120,000 square feet. They sell all sports of stuff. I like Jungle Jim's better.
