The one-loop renormalization of the abelian Higgs-Kibble model in a general 't Hooft gauge and with chiral fermions is fully worked out within dimensional renormalization scheme with a non-anticommuting $\gamma_5$. The anomalous terms introduced in the Slavnov-Taylor identities by the minimal subtraction algorithm are calculated and the asymmetric counterterms needed to restore the BRS symmetry, if the anomaly cancellation conditions are met, are computed. The computations draw heavily from regularized action principles and Algebraic Renormalization theory.

It turns out that as a result BRST symmetry of chiral gauge theories is necessarily broken in $D$ dimensions, and it is required to add appropriate symmetry-restoring counterterms which restore the symmetry after renormalization in the 4-dimensional limit, for early results see Refs. [ref] , for a recent review see e.g. [ref] and for a compact summary of recent progress see [ref] .

For early discussions of the scheme see e.g. Refs. [ref] , while results for gauge-invariance restoring counterterms can be found first in Refs. [ref] and more recently in Refs. [ref] at 1-loop and [ref] at 2- and 3-loop order.

Symmetry-restoring counterterms for the BMHV scheme have been considered in the literature already for gauge theories without scalar fields [ref] , for abelian gauge theories [ref] , in the evaluation of flavor-changing neutral processes at one-loop [ref] , for supersymmetric QED [ref] , and different practical strategies for their determination have been developed e.g. in Refs. [ref] .
