Low-Carb Chicken Kyiv
Editor's note: this recipe first appeared at the wonderful food blog For Good Measure several years ago. A lot has happened since then, to say the least, including the emergence of a new international consensus in how to transliterate the name of Ukraine's capital city. While the original recipe with the old spelling appears below, from now on it'll be Chicken Kyiv to us. As I write this small note, on March 3rd, 2022, Kyiv is under assault. Experts are debating whether it will be weeks or days before the city falls to the Russian army. Cooking a chicken recipe seems like a paltry tribute in the face of such horrors.

Chicken Kyiv has a disputed history – Russians claim that it's a Moscow invention, while competing claims suggest it was first served in Paris, London, or New York. No matter where it started, Kyiv and Ukraine appear to have adopted the dish, and that's good enough for us.
