Low Carb Chicken Kiev Food

KETO CHICKEN KIEV (LOW CARB, GLUTEN FREE, NUT FREE)

Steps:

• Place all the butter ingredients in a bowl and whisk with a fork to combine. Option to use a stick blender. Chill in fridge while you prepare the chicken.
• Add the chicken breasts to a chopping board. Make a deep pocket in the thick end of each breast using a sharp knife, about half way into the fillet. Careful not to cut through or the butter will leak.
• Split the butter into 4 and push equal amounts into each pocket. Seal with your hands.
• Add the whey, parmesan and seasoning to a large shallow bowl. Add the eggs to another. Dip each breast in the egg then the whey, repeating so each Kiev has a double coating. (This ensures the kievs are juicy on the inside and crisp on the outside. Keep any spare whey mix to one side.)
• Place on a parchment lined baking tray and chill in the fridge for 1 hour. If you find the whey has absorbed into the egg a little after chilling, just sprinkle with a little more whey mix before frying.
• Preheat the oven to 350F / 180C / 160 fan.
• Heat the oil in a large non stick frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the kievs for 2 - 3 minutes each side or until golden - watch so the batter doesn't burn. Cook two at a time to avoid overcrowding and uneven cooking.
• Transfer to a baking tray and cook in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes or until cooked through.
• Season with optional salt, lemon and parsley to serve.
• Storage: Best fresh or refrigerate for one day, but the crumb and filling may be different.

CHICKEN KIEV

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350F and start to pound your chicken breasts until they're quite thin- about 1/2 - 1 centimeter thick. Season with salt, pepper, parsley and tarragon.
• Now add 2 tablespoons of butter, cut to fit the length of the chicken breast, and chopped garlic and green onion.
• Roll the chicken up and secure with tooth picks.
• For your bread crumbs, you'll be using crushed pork rinds. The easiest way to crush them is to either put them in a Nutribullet for a few seconds.
• Prepare your dredging station by adding some coconut flour to a shallow bowl, a beaten egg to another and your pork rinds to a third.
• Coat your chicken in the coconut flour first, sealing all sides, then dipping into your beaten egg and finally coating it fully in pork rinds.
• Place your chicken in the fridge for about 30 minutes before frying it on all sides in a well oiled pan.
• Then place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake for about 20 minutes. You may baste the chicken in any butter that may seep out.
• Serve on a bed of arugula and enjoy!

• In a medium bowl, combine butter, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper. Form into a log and wrap with parchment paper, waxed paper, or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until firm.
• Place the chicken breast in a zip-top bag and pound with a meat mallet until the chicken is 1/4" thick.
• Place butter in the center of each chicken breast and wrap tightly from the long side, tucking in the short sides as you go. Secure with toothpicks. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
• In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, parmesan, and cayenne pepper.
• In another bowl, beat the eggs.
• Coat the chicken in the eggs, and then dip in the almond flour mixture, using your fingers to press to coating into the chicken.

LIGHTER CHICKEN KIEV

Steps:

• For the filling, mix the butter, cheese and oil in a small bowl, then stir in the garlic and parsley. Season with a pinch of cayenne and salt , and generously with black pepper. Cover with cling film and chill in the freezer for 30 mins while you prepare the chicken.
• Mix together the panko crumbs and flour. Heat a large, non-stick frying pan, tip in the crumb mix and toast in the dry pan for a few minutes or until turning pale brown - stir regularly so they brown evenly and don't burn. Tip the crumb mix into a bowl, season with pepper and set aside.
• Butterfly each chicken breast without cutting all the way through, so you can then open them out flat, being careful not to make any other cuts in the flesh that the filling could escape from. Lay each breast between two pieces of cling film and bash with a rolling pin to a thickness of about 5mm. Peel off and discard the top piece of cling film and season each breast with pepper. Place a quarter of the filling in the middle, then bring both the shorter ends of the chicken in slightly so they cover each side of the filling. Now bring a long side up and carry on rolling up to make a tight package - use the cling film to help , and keep the ends tucked in as you go. Wrap each kiev tightly in the cling film and chill in the fridge for about 30 mins (or overnight if you prefer).
• Heat oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8. Tip half the crumb mix onto a large plate. Put the buttermilk in a shallow dish and season with pepper. Remove the cling film from two of the kievs, coat each in the buttermilk, then roll in the crumbs to evenly coat all over. Pat them on the ends too, to coat and keep well sealed. Repeat with the remaining two kievs.
• Heat 11/2 tsp of the oil in a small nonstick frying pan. Add two of the kievs and fry for 1½ mins over a medium-high heat, without moving them, adjusting the heat if necessary so they don't burn. Turn them over, pour in another ½ tsp oil to cover the base of the pan and fry for 1 min more to brown the other side, carefully turning so all sides are becoming golden. Remove with a wide spatula and lay in a shallow baking tin lined with baking parchment. Wipe any crumbs from the pan, then repeat with the rest of the oil and chicken.
• Bake the chicken in the oven for 15 mins until cooked and crisp. Serve with lemon wedges and watercress. If any juices have managed to escape during cooking, simply drizzle them around the chicken once served.

LOW CARB CHICKEN KIEV RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Mix together the stick of butter, herbs, and salt and pepper until well combined. This can be done by softening the butter and mashing the ingredients together with a fork, or by blending everything in a food processor or stand mixer. Scrape the butter onto a piece of plastic wrap or parchment paper and shape/roll it into a log that is about the same size as a stick of butter. Place in the freezer 25 minutes to harden. Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap or wax paper and use a mallet or rolling pin to pound each breast to 1/4-inch thickness. Don't pound it too thin, or the meat will tear when you try to roll it up. Take the butter out of the freezer and slice it into 4 rectangular pieces that are the same size. Place a slab of butter in the middle of each chicken breast. Fold in the short sides of the chicken breast just a little bit, and then fold over one long side so it covers the butter. Roll the breast long ways into a tight roll. Refrigerate 1-2 hours, which makes the butter firm and helps the chicken hold together better. Season the outside of the chicken lightly with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil/animal fat in a sauté pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is nice and hot, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the chicken breasts with the seam down. Cook until golden brown on all sides and cooked through, approximately 20 minutes. A few minutes before the chicken comes out of the pan, you can add remaining tablespoons of butter, for extra flavor and browning.

LOW FAT CHICKEN KIEV AND CHIPS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees Celcius.
• Spray a square of baking foil with the cooking spray, and place the chicken thigh onto it.
• Mix together the salsa, mayonnaise, margarine, garlic and herbs to taste, and push into the 'hole' in the piece of chicken where the bone was.
• Spray the top of the piece of chicken and bring the foil up to form a parcel. Place on a baking tray in the oven.
• Cut the potato up into chips, and microwave on high for 2-3 minutes (depending on size of chips).
• Spray a baking tray with cooking spray, then add chips. Spray again, and toss the chips to make sure they're evenly covered. Put in oven with chicken (which should have been in for about 8-10 minutes).
• After about 12 minutes, toss the chips again and make sure they're cooking evenly. After they've been in the oven about 25 minutes, they should be ready (time depends on oven and how crispy you like your chips).
• Remove chicken parcel and chips from oven and serve, drizzling juices from the foil over the chicken.
• I like to serve it with steamed green beans and grilled mushrooms, but it's personal choice!
