A colourful chicken dish, enhanced with a nutty, spicy flavour that requires little accompaniment other than plain boiled rice to help mop up the juices.

Remarkably colourful, bursting with flavour and up-to-the-minute with style, this dish is very simple to make.

Chicken Kiev
Author: admin
Traditionally, this sinful but classic Russian dish used part-boned chicken fillets (filets), but boneless chicken breasts are perhaps more convenient and economical. However, there is no escaping the buttery garlicky filling which oozes calories, so, as a compromise, these kievs are baked in the oven, rather than deep fried.

skinned
2 crisp eating apples
8 rashers smoked bacon, derinded
15 ml/1 tbsp sunflower oil
