Introducing a succulent chicken breast stuffed with herb butter and covered in a golden crumb. Sound familiar? It's the much- loved chicken kiev – cheat's style! It's baked instead of fried, and served with garden salad and golden almond potatoes.
Unfortunately, this week's cherry tomatoes were in short supply, so we've replaced them with tomatoes. Don't worry, the recipe will be just as delicious!

2

1 bag

1 tub

1 packet
mayonnaise
(Contains: Eggs;)

40 g

(Contains: Milk;)
2 tbs

1 tsp

Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Bring the butter to room temperature. Cut the potato (unpeeled) into 1cm rounds. Place on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat, then bake until slightly golden, 25-30 minutes. In the last 5 minutes of cooking, remove the tray from the oven and sprinkle with the slivered almonds.
While the potato is baking, finely chop the garlic. Finely chop the parsley leaves. Zest the lemon to get a good pinch, then cut into wedges. In a small bowl, combine the butter, garlic, parsley and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper. Mash together with a fork, then set aside. Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice horizontally, without cutting all the way through. Open up the chicken breast like a book, then spread with some of the garlic butter. Close the chicken, then repeat with the remaining chicken.
In a shallow bowl, combine the plain flour and the salt. Season with pepper. In a second shallow bowl, whisk the egg. In a third shallow bowl, place the panko breadcrumbs. Carefully dip each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, followed by the egg, and finally in the panko breadcrumbs. Transfer to a plate. TIP: Be gentle when crumbing the chicken to keep the butter mixture inside!
Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the base. When the oil is hot, cook the crumbed chicken in batches until golden, 2-3 minutes each side. Transfer to a second oven tray lined with baking paper and bake until cooked through, 6-10 minutes. TIP: Some of the garlic butter will seep out, but don't worry, you can serve it on the side.
While the chicken is baking, roughly chop the tomato. In a large bowl combine the tomato, mixed salad leaves and mustard cider dressing. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise and a squeeze of lemon juice. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper.
Divide the baked chicken kievs, almond potatoes and garden salad between plates. Drizzle any remaining butter from the baking tray over the chicken. Serve with the lemon mayonnaise and the remaining lemon wedges.
