Easy Baked Chicken Kiev

Easy baked chicken kiev is a delicious recipe for home-made chicken kievs. These are so much healthier than shop bought and are ready in just over an hour.

These homemade baked chicken kiev are great for a busy weeknight.

They're healthier than shop bought too.

I’ve used less butter and also wholemeal breadcrumbs instead of white ones.

That means they have less saturated fat but still have a delicious golden crunchy coating.

Chicken Kiev (also known as “Chicken Supreme”) is a classic recipe invented by a Russian chef the early 1800s.

Normally the chicken is fried in a pan. Here I've made them healthier by partially frying them then baking them.

But these easy baked chicken kievs are still stuffed full still of flavour!

Even though less butter is used, there's still enough to ooze out of the chicken whilst cooking. So you're not missing anything.

The difference here being is that your plate isn’t swimming in the stuff. Nope, there's just enough to give it its authenticness!

Baked Chicken Kiev v Shop Bought Chicken Kiev

I remember when I was younger that chicken kievs for our family were always a favourite.

They proved to be a really quick and easy dish that my brother and I could easily shove in the oven whilst our mum and dad were out working late.

That would be dinner sorted out for us both without my mum having to come home tired and have to prepare something for us.

Those chicken kievs were shop bought ones for convenience.

Now that I can, I prefer to make my own.

This easy baked chicken kiev recipe shows you how I make them for my other half and myself.

Just double up the recipe if you are making for a family of 4! Here's how to go about making them :-

How To Make Easy Baked Chicken Kiev

1. Make the garlic butter. Melting the butter and garlic in a small saucepan, add the parsley and pop in the freezer until slightly hardened.
2. Use a sharp knife to slit the chicken breasts. Don't cut through the whole breast though. Create a pocket in each breast with the knife and stuff with half of the butter mixture.
3. Coat the breast in the egg wash then roll in the breadcrumbs. Cling film each breast and pop in the fridge for 20 minutes.
4. Pre-heat oven, lightly grease a baking tray and gently heat the oil in a non stick frying pan.
5. Remove cling film from the chicken and brown each side in the pan. Transfer to the baking tray and bake in oven until golden brown.
6. When ready transfer to serving plates and tip any of the melted butter from the tray over the top of the breasts.
