Homemade Chicken Kievs
Preparation Time: 15 Minutes
Cooking Time: 20-25 Minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- 6 garlic cloves, 2 peeled
- A small bunch of flat-leaf parsley
- 85g fresh breadcrumbs
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
- 4 tbsp garlic & herb soft cheese
- 4 tsp olive oil
Method:
-
Heat oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Whizz together the 2 peeled garlic cloves, parsley, and 1 tsp olive oil in a food processor. Add the breadcrumbs and seasoning before pulsing briefly to mix. Tip onto a plate.
-
Cut a slit (roughly thumb-length) in the side of each chicken breast, at the plump end. Spoon ¼ of the soft cheese into each hole and press the edges together to seal. Rub 2 tsp oil over all the chicken breasts before pressing the herby crumbs onto them.
-
Place the coated chicken in a shallow roasting tin. Scatter round the remaining unpeeled garlic cloves and drizzle with the rest of the oil. Bake for 20-25 mins until the chicken is cooked and crumbs crisp and golden. Squeeze out the soft, roasted garlic from the skins and serve with the chicken.
