This classic dish dates back to 1800 when, according to legend, Napoleon’s chef created this recipe in celebration of their victory at the Battle of Marengo.

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.
