How to cook
1. Preheat your oven to 220ºC/200ºC fan/gas mark 7.
2. Remove the film but leave the chicken kievs in their tray.
3. Place on a baking tray in the centre of the oven and cook for 25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
4. Leave to stand for 2 minutes before serving.
Be careful, they’ll be hot. Make sure they’re piping hot throughout. These instructions are just a guide; cookers are as quirky as the rest of us.
Serve it with...
Try our kievs with boiled new potatoes or a mound of creamy mash, perhaps with some grated cheese stirred through if you’re feeling a bit indulgent. Finish things off with a nice fresh salad or a portion of seasonal veg.

A handful of fresh basil leaves
2 tsp balsamic vinegar (preferably aged)
2 tsp olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1. Arrange the slices of tomato on a plate and layer with basil leaves.

Something to drink?
White wines with a touch of acidity pair well with the oozy, butteriness of this dish. A zingy sauvignon blanc or a chablis would be just the ticket.
