Chicken Kiev
Description
This version of Chicken Kiev uses a filling made from light cream cheese and fat-free Greek yogurt combined with minced garlic and chopped fresh parsley, offering a tangy and herbaceous center. The chicken breasts are carefully butterflied and filled with this mixture before being breaded in a traditional three-step process: coating in flour, dipping in beaten egg, and rolling in breadcrumbs made from processed brown bread.
Baked at a high temperature, the chicken develops a crisp, golden exterior while remaining juicy inside. This cooking method avoids frying, making it simpler yet still results in a flavorful and textural contrast between the crunchy coating and creamy filling. The recipe suggests alternative cooking approaches to vary the crispness of the coating.
Chicken Kiev can be served as a main course complemented by simple sides. The notes mention options to adapt the fillings, add ingredients like spinach or bacon, and recommend freezing prior to cooking if meal prepping. The use of full-fat cream cheese is suggested for more flavor, while baking or pan-frying provide differing textures to the crust.
Ingredients
- 400 g chicken breast
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoon cream cheese light
- 2 tablespoon Greek yogurt 0% fat free
- 2 garlic minced, clove
- 2 tablespoon parsley chopped, fresh

- Take 400 g Chicken breast and at one of the sides in the middle, cut a 2-3 inch long hole and create a pocket in the middle of the chicken. Fill this chicken with as much of the cream cheese mix as you can fit in.
- Whisk 1 Egg and pour onto a plate. Put 1 slice Brown bread in a food processor and turn into bread crumbs and put on another plate. Put 2 tablespoon Plain flour on a third plate.
- Gently, pick up the chicken breasts and dip them in the flour and then the egg.
