Steps

  • Mix 175g butter with most of the garlic and half the parsley in a bowl.
  • Roll the butter into a log using cling film and chill for one hour.
  • Heat oil in a deep fryer to 160°C.
  • Cut a deep pocket into each chicken breast near the bone.
  • Stuff the chicken pockets with slices of the chilled garlic butter.
  • Coat each chicken breast in flour, kemudian beaten egg, then panko breadcrumbs.
  • Fry the Kievs for 8-10 minutes until golden and cooked through, then drain.
  • Simmer beans, peas, onions, remaining garlic, 25g butter, and 280ml water for 4 minutes.
  • Drain vegetables and stir in another 25g butter and the remaining parsley.
  • Serve the chicken Kievs on top of the spring vegetables.
