Chicken Kyiv (cheating) Recipe
Not only was this chicken Kyiv recipe quick, taking less than 30 minutes from start to finish. It was also delicious.
The concept of adding herb butter to a piece of chicken breast was originally devised and cooked by a Ukrainian chef in the 19th century. However, it is now loved by millions of people across the world.
In this version, I move away from the breadcrumbs coating and opt for some streaky bacon to surround the chicken.

Ingredients
Chicken Kiev
- 10 tbsp Soft Cheese (I used a 200ml pot)
- 4 Cloves Garlic
- Handful chopped parsley
- 8 Rashers of streaky bacon
- 4 Chicken Breasts
Instructions
- Chicken Kyiv First things first heat up the oven to 180.
- Mix the cheese, garlic, herbs and some seasoning, then make a slice inside of each chicken breast. I use my fingers to make the hole bigger because it's easier than a knife. Stuff the cheese and herbs mixture into each breast and then wrap in a couple of bits of the bacon, making sure you cover the pockets tightly.
- Chuck it in the oven for about 20/25 minutes or until cooked through. I served this with green beans (because yellow sticker deals at the shop today) and Potato wedges.
