Tastier than any shop bought kievs!
Ingredients
2 chicken breasts
4 cloves garlic (chopped small)
100g butter
breadcrumbs (made from 2 rounds of stale bread) Can mix with sesame seeds too
1 egg
70g or so of flour (for coating chicken)
small handful of chopped parsley
shake of pepper
Olive oil/veg oil for frying
Oven heated to180 degrees centigrade (350F) gas mark 4
Method
Lay the chicken breasts out onto baking paper as flat as they will go, fold the paper over the chicken and hit repeatedly with something like a rolling pin or a meat mallet if you have one until quite flat but nowhere near paper thin.
Put onto plates or bowls your flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs.
Lay half of the butter, half of the garlic and half of the parsley onto each of the breasts.
Fold the chicken around the butter like a little parcel until the butter etc. is hidden. Carefully dip the parcel into the flour first and coat, into the egg next and coat and finally into the stale breadcrumbs/sesame seeds and coat. You can add any herbs, pepper, a little salt etc to the breadcrumbs too. I put them in the fridge to firm up for a while, maybe 30 mins or so to get the butter hard again too.
Heat a frying pan with a little oil and fry the kievs on a medium heat until a little browned, maybe 1-2 minutes either side.
Then place onto a baking tray (I put tin foil on to mop up any leaks from the kievs) and place in the oven for around 15-20 minutes.
Unfortunately I never seem to get a photo when they are out on the plate and ready to eat as I forget to get the camera out when I'm hungry!
Eat with anything you fancy, boiled spuds and veg, or salad, or chips, or mash - anything works.
