Hi Food Tube. Kerryann here. I'm going to show you
how to make
a great classic.
Homemade chicken Kiev it's a great recipe.
chicken breast stuffed with garlic butter and bacon
and then breaded and fried. Perfect as a weekend treat
or to impress your friends at dinner party its from my old friend Jamie
Oliver's book
Comfort Food. We're gonna make it from scratch. So
to start, I've got four rashers
of smoked streaky bacon and I'm gonna fry that in a nice
medium hot pan until it's lovely and crispy.
Over here I have four
skinless chicken breasts. Now I'm gonna go into the thickest part of the breast
which is here with the tip of a sharp knife.
We need to make a pocket to stuff it with our lovely butter
and bacon. We don't wanna go all the way through.
We've got a nice little pocket there. Lets get another
chicken breast. Oh this one's being a little bit naughty.
Beautiful
Now I've just touched raw chicken so that's why I just ran over to the sink to wash my hands,
because
raw meat and cooked meat are not best friends.
Make sure you wash your hands in between all of your jobs. That's getting nice and crispy
and that bacon looks like it's about ready.
Lets get this down on the kitchen towel because we don't want it to be greasy
and then we're gonna use some homemade garlic and herb butter.
If you wanna see how I did this click on the butter and check it out.
I'm going to slice it.
So,
chicken breast and some butter, and stuff it in
to that little pocket there.
And then I'm just going to take some bacon.
Now guys if you don't eat pork that's absolutely fine. You don't have to put the bacon in.
A bit more butter.
And then we're gonna make sure
that's closed up nicely.
Beautiful.
Next we need to create a crispy outer layer and to do that
we need to put it in breadcrumbs. In France they call this penne Anglais. Me, I just tend to call it food glue.
I've got three teaspoons, ordinary, all-purpose flour. In here
I'm gonna have two large eggs. These are free-range
and just lightly beat these two eggs, just to combine
them really. On this plate I've got about 150g
of white breadcrumbs. You can use wholemeal if you want.
You can use panko if you want to. Bit of Parmesan? Play around
So, we're going to be coating the chicken
in flour nice and gently cos we don't want all the
the good stuff to fall out. dust off any excess
and then straight into the egg, because the egg is going to act as
the glue for the breadcrumbs to stick to.
And out of the egg into the breadcrumbs.
Now if you are a little bit unsure and you're worried that all your lovely herby butter
is going to leak out
you can double dip. So I'm going to do that here with this one
but normally I would only do one
one layer.
Now I've got a nice non-stick pan over a medium to high heat
and I'm gonna add some sunflower oil.
About two centimetres.
So in we go with you my friend.
That one as well.
Now guys if you want to save a little bit of time and put the breadcrumbs on these and leave them in the fridge
overnight just make sure they're well covered, well wrapped
kept at the bottom of the fridge and you'll be absolutely fine.
So lets have a little look. Oh look at that.
That just makes me so happy.
We just want to get them nice and golden like this on all sides.
If you wanna be extra, extra healthy just put them on a tray with a little drizzle of olive oil
put them in the oven for 20-25 minutes and they'll be absolutely fine. They won't
be as crispy as if you'd fried them
but they'll still taste absolutely great.
Lets have a look at this under here. Oh yes!
Wowzers,
Here's the last one. Now i'm going to wash my hands.
Again.
Okay, so I've fried them off. Look how lovely and crispy and golden they are.
I'm going to put these in the oven. It's pre-heated at 180 degrees.
For about 10 minutes until they're cooked through.
See you soon my friends.
Oh they smell so good. And we've had a little bit of leakage.
But you know what, in the grand scheme of things it's not that bigger deal.
I mean they're sitting in the butter that's leaked. So they'll be soaking
it up anyway.
Right, what I'm going to serve them with is broccoli mash.
It's literally just some mashed potatoes with some mashed broccoli running through it.
If you wanna see how I make
basic mash and a few other different great types of mash as well

Bit more.
A little bit of spinch and rocket salad.
Lovely. Now, it's the moment guys.
Oh wow! Look at that. All those herbs and the bacon
and the garlic. Oh I wish you could smell this guys. Google glass you need to come up with smelly
vision. Smelly vision?
Smelly vision. Ha ha ha! That is so amazing.
