If you don't want to use margerine, then don't. I chose to make these with regular butter, but only because that's all I had in the house. I followed the other instructions perfectly and the chicken came out wonderful. They were easily put togeher and the cooking time was right on. I served them sliced open so you could see the herbs inside. Thank you Ben for a great recipe!

Give me a break! I used the margaraine and I thought it was delicious. I don't know about authentic, but it was just wonderful! Thanks for the recipe.

A true Chicken Kiev NEVER uses anything as profane as margarine, but only butter. Margarine can NEVER impart any of the subtle flavor butter does, so what's the point?
