chicken kievs (breaded chicken breast with a garlic butter in the middle) got turned into chicken kyivs overnight at supermarkets in the UK

the chicken kiev is called that because it was served at a fancy hotel in kiev between 1897 and 1941, foreign visitors/cookbook writers called them chicken cutlets kiev style because thats where they came across them on their travels. note that during this time kiev was firmly russian because it was long before russian spun the ukraine (the borderland) off into its own country in order to get another vote at the table.

before that it was a russian french inspired dish
