Baked Chicken Kiev and my Awards from fellow bloggers

Baked Chicken Kiev is an Ukraine recipe, we like chicken kieve stuffed with minced chicken. There is lot of stuffings will vary with veggies,Garlic butter and Minced meats. Chicken kiev is good diet recipe and also complete meal for the dinner. My Hubby like the minced chicken stuffing and baked rather than deep frying. Yesterday, we had this Chicken Kiev for our dinner with baked potato. Baked foods are good for the health than the deep fried one and also it will take less time to cook. Chicken should taste juicy in kieve, here the time and cooking is the trick to maintain the juicyness of the chicken. I don't have patience to check and look around near the oven, but my Hubby done it perfectly the Baked Chicken Kiev juicy and soft. Here in our Super markets meat section we get chicken kieve with Garlic Butter pre-packed, but we always like minced chicken stuffing. If you find uncomfortable with minced chicken stuffings means can also substitute with Garlic butter, Garlic butter is an easy to stuff and there is no more cooking preparation need for that. Simply cut the Garlic butter and stuff inside the chicken breast piece. Here the Baked Chicken kiev recipe as follows below for you.

3.Now grind the onions, green chillies and minced chicken to 2 rounds in the mixer, then put it in one bowl add the remaining chopped coriander leaves, tomato puree, coriander powder, garam masala, lemon juice and salt.
4.Mix it nicely till the masalas stick to the minced chicken and refrigerate for 1 hrs. Becos after mixing with your hands the mixture will be in bit watery stage for stuffing it should be like roti dough.
5.After 1 hrs, take out the chicken mince mixture bowl.
6.Place the thickly sliced chicken breast on the chopping board stuff the 2 tbsp of minced chicken mixture and try to fold the fillet, do the same for all the fillet pieces after rolling the fillet if you see any excess stuffing coming outside means cut it.
