Stuffed Cream cheese and sundried tomato chicken

  • 40M
  • Serves 8

4 whole chicken breasts – butterflied in half

200g chopped sundried tomatoes – very fine

200g Philadelphia Original

100g grated Parmesan

20g finely chopped basil

1pinch salt

oil for frying

125g panko breadcrumbs

100g flour

2 whole eggs

1

To start, butterfly your chicken in half and set aside.

2

Either using greaseproof paper or clingfilm, lay your chicken down on your chopping board, using a tenderising hammer, softly flatten the chicken to both tenderise the meat and also allow for your surface area when moulding the kiev.

3

For the filling, mix together all ingredients in a bowl and set aside.

4

Place the chicken on another sheet of clingfilm and your filling 1/3 up from the bottom. Gradually roll the chicken up making sure both sides are not leaking the filling out.

5

Using the clingfilm make sure the cylinder is very tight and set in the freezer for a few hours, this will make the breadcrumbing easier.

6

Remove from the clingfilm and place in the flour, fully coating the chicken. Then place in the egg wash and then the panko breadcrumbs.

7

I like to double up, go back in the egg was and then back again into the breadcrumbs to double breadcrumb the chicken.

8

Heat your oil up to 165 degrees and place your breaded chicken in.

9

Once golden brown (this will not be cooked at this point) transfer to a rack and leave to drain.

10

Place in the oven at 200 degrees for 10 minutes.

11

Serve with greens and roasted tomatoes.
