Make an incision to hollow out a pocket and fill it with garlic butter, or wrap a piece of Gruyère cheese in a thin slice of Parma ham and place in the pocket. Dip in flour, egg and seasoned breadcrumbs and shallow fry on both sides until cooked. If you whizz up your own breadcrumbs in a food processor and add some oil to moisten the crumbs, you can cook the chicken in the oven and the crumb coating will be just as crispy. You’ll never eat shop bought chicken Kiev again. I also like a chicken breast stuffed with your favourite stuffing, wrapped in bacon and roasted.
I think I’ve posted before about Sainsburys Sage and Butternut Squash bottled sauce. It’s really nice and if you’re not keen on creamy sauces this works well if you seal a seasoned chicken breast on both sides with a few mushrooms and shallots, then pour on the sauce and simmer until the chicken is cooked through.
