You can win one of these too in my latest competition. It’s currently out of stock on the website but you can buy one on Amazon for £14.99.

Chicken Kiev Recipe

My favourite garlic based recipe is Chicken Kiev and I like to make it at home. It’s a lot easier than you think.

Ingredients:

• 4 Chicken breasts with skin removed

For the garlic herb butter

• 3-4 tbsp freshly chopped flat leaf parsley
• 3-4 tbsp freshly chopped chives
• 115g soft butter
• 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
• salt and pepper

For the Kiev coating

• 50g/2oz plain flour
• 4 eggs, beaten
• 175g/6oz natural breadcrumbs
• oil for frying

Method

First make the garlic butter filling. Add the herbs to the butter along with the garlic and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix together with a fork.

Divide the butter into four and using cold hands (run them under the cold tap) roll them into bullet shapes. Wrap in cling film and place in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

Take your chicken breast and lifting the fillet part up, cut through about two thirds of the breast.

Unwrap your butter bullets and place them inside your chicken breast, pulling your fillet part down to fully seal the butter.

Put a pan of oil on to warm up.

Beat the 4 eggs up in a bowl. fill another bowl with the flour and a third bowl with the bread crumbs.

Take each breast and place in the flour bowl until coated, then place in the egg until coated and finally in the breadcrumbs. Make sure each piece is completely covered.

Gently put the chicken into the fat until golden then remove and place on a baking tray.

Pop into the oven on 170 degrees for a further 15 minutes (keep an eye on them and take them out if they start to leak.) Let them rest.

We serve our chicken kievs with pasta, when you cut open the chicken the garlic, herb butter sauce dribbles all over the pasta. You can also serve them with rice or potatoes.

What do you serve your Chicken Kievs with?
