|description=This is my take on chicken Kiev, no frying and a little spicier
}}
This is my take on [[Chicken|chicken]] Kiev, no [[Frying|frying]] and a little more spicy. Making it this way, the nice garlicky [[Butter|butter]] stays in the chicken, not in the [[Baking tray|baking tray]].

This famous method of preparing chicken is probably not of Ukrainian origin as the name Kiev, the national capital, would imply, rather, the [[Russian]] food historian William Pokhlebkin claimed that [[Chicken]] Kiev was invented in the Moscow Merchants' Club in the early 20th century and was renamed Chicken Kiev (kotleta po-kievski lit. 'cutlet of/from Kiev') in one of the Soviet restaurants in later years.

''More garlic please''

4.8/5 

The more garlic there is, the tastier this dish is.

===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Use softened [[Butter|butter]] or warm it in the [[Microwave|microwave]] for 15 seconds
| Mix with the Crushed [[Garlic|garlic]], [[Parsley|parsley]], [[Lemon juice|lemon juice]], [[Salt|salt]] and [[Pepper|pepper]] until well combined
| Shape into a [[Sausage|sausage]] and chill in the [[Refrigerator|refrigerator]] for a few hours.
| Carefully cut a pocket in each [[Chicken breast|chicken breast]]
| Mix the [[sesame seeds]] and [[Breadcrumbs|breadcrumbs]] together on a plate
| Beat the [[Mustard|mustard]] with the [[Egg yolks|egg yolks]] and add a splash of [[Hot pepper sauce|hot pepper sauce]]
| Dip the [[Chicken|chicken]] breasts in the [[Egg yolk|egg yolk]] mixture and dredge through the [[Breadcrumbs|breadcrumbs]] to coat well
| Leave the [[Chicken|chicken]] breasts to chill for a few hours in the [[Refrigerator|refrigerator]], this helps the [[Mustard|mustard]] and [[Chilli|chilli]] to mingle with the chicken
|# The mustard coating is an idea taken from ''Delia's Complete Cookery Course'' as a suggestion for making dull chicken more interesting. It therefore has to make exciting chicken, well, even more exciting!
| Preheat the [[Oven|oven]] to 200°C (400° F - gas 6 - Moderately hot)
| When ready to cook, divide the chilled [[Butter|butter]] in two and place in each pocket.
| Place the [[Chicken|chicken]], pocket upwards in its own 'dish' of [[Tin foil|tin foil]] and place these in a [[Baking tray|baking tray]]
| [[Bake]] for 30 minutes
}}
===Serving suggestion===
Serve with [[baked potatoes]] and [[steamed broccoli]].
