We formulate the chiral kinetic equation with the longitudinal boost invariance. We particularly focus on the physical interpretation of the particle number conservation. There appear two terms associated with the expansion, which did not exist in the non-chiral kinetic equation. One is a contribution to the transverse current arising from the side-jump effect, and the other is a change in the density whose flow makes the longitudinal current. We point out a characteristic pattern in the transverse current driven by the expansion, which we call the chiral circular displacement.
