Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oven to 200C/180C 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.

  • step 2

    Cut a slit (roughly thumb-length) in the side of each chicken breast, at the plump end. Spoon a quarter 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.

  • step 3

    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.

Excellent results, very easy and far better than shop-bought, I toasted some of the breadcrumbs for one of the Kiev’s and it was even better, this is a staple in our house now, thanks so much!

This is some low-rent McKiev trash.

Egg, butter, chicken, parsley, breadcrumbs, garlic.

No cream cheese.

Use small chicken breasts. We used regular sized ones tonight, they've been in 35minute now and are still pink. Not impressed.

You Clearly have a subpar oven to go along with your cooking skills

Delicious!! Top tip: don't use big breasts or if you do make sure its stuffed all over. Was plain in some areas and delicously creamy in others. Next time, will stuff with more cream cheese and cut a bigger slit to put more in
