Directions
While there’s some dispute about the origins of Chicken Kiev, many credit the Continental Hotel in Kiev with inventing the modern version of the dish in the early 1900s. The dish started to get mentioned in U.S. newspapers in 1937 and became popular nationwide after features in the New York Times and Gourmet magazine in the late 1940s, when it became a symbol of high-class Soviet cuisine.
