Method

  1. Heat 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.
  2. 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.
  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.

    Have made this twice so far, and will definitely make again in the future. The first time I did it, I didn't have any fresh parsley, so used some dried mixed herbs and they tasted just as good. Excellent easy and tasty recipe.

    this was easy to make and really tasty. i found the thick cheese filling still ouzed out, but the flavour did give the chicken a garlic flavour right the way through. i will make again but i think i'll try just a garlic butter filling

    Great recipe and doesnt take 15 mins to prep! I just chop my garlic and mix with the breadcrumbs rather than having to get the whizzer out. Going to make again tonight and try some garlic butter and oil inside instead of the cheese which i dont have.. yummy!!

    This was lovely, the chicken stayed moist, will definitely make again. The fresh herb and garlic breadcrumbs worked really well. Served with new potatoes and ratatouille.

    Another successful disaster zone meal. As my oven was out due to power cuts, I combined garlic, cream cheese and mixed herbs together and stuffed the chicken breasts. Then I dusted in flour, dipped in egg and coated with crushed cornflakes before deep frying in my tempura pan. Not bad for candle lit cooking!

    This was great! So easy to make and so tasty! I put too much parsley in tho, so it was a bit green. We all loved it from age 9 to 42 and would definitely make again. Even though my husband suggested frying them at the end next time to make them more crispy...

    Simple to make and so succulant delicious. Wish I could've had real kievs like these as a kid and not the crappy supermarket ones my mum used to get.
