Skinnymixers Tips

We have seen a few tips in the Skinnymixers Facebook Group to achieve the best ‘ooze’ factor. Follow these tips to get maximum ooze.

  1. Wet your hands when forming the Kievs and make sure they are sealed really well.
  2. Freeze your garlic butter or other alternative filling first.
  3. Follow the recipe and pan-fry first to make sure you don’t over cook in the oven trying to achieve a crispy coating.
  4. Some Skinnies prefer to freeze first and cook from frozen.

P.S. We love seeing the slow motion Chicken Kiev cutting videos in Skinnymixers!

Ingredients

Crumb ingredients:

  • 100 g raw almonds - or alternative nut or sunflower seeds for nut free
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp onion flakes or powder
  • 1/2 tsp sweet paprika
  • pinch of black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Herbed garlic butter ingredients:

  • 100 g cold salted butter - cubed
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic
  • small handful of fresh parsley
  • small handful of fresh basil
  • pinch of fresh thyme

Chicken ingredients:

  • 500 g chicken breast - cubed
  • 1 whole egg
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 100 g Parmesan cheese - cubed
  • oil of choice for frying

Instructions

  • Put raw almonds into mixer bowl, mill for 5 sec/speed 9/MC on. Set aside and stir through spices, salt, and pepper.
  • Without washing mixer bowl, put Parmesan cheese into mixer bowl, mill for 10 sec/speed 9/MC on. Set aside.
  • Without washing mixer bowl, put herbed butter ingredients into mixer bowl, blend for 40 sec/speed 5/MC on. Set aside.
  • Without washing mixer bowl, put chicken ingredients, including reserved Parmesan cheese and 20 g or 0.7 oz of the reserved crumb mixture into mixer bowl. Blend for 40 sec/speed 9/MC on.

Assembly:

  • Preheat a frying pan to medium high heat, and oven to 180°C or 350°F fan forced.
  • Take chicken mixture and divide it up into 4 or 6 round balls. Wet hands help with this.
  • Take one of the balls and flatten it out to the size of your palm. Place 1/4 or 1/6 of the herbed garlic butter in the centre. Fold chicken mixture around the butter and form an oval shape - like the shape of a chicken breast. Ensure there are no thin spots so your buttery goodness doesnt ooze out while cooking.
  • Coat the chicken liberally in the reserved crumb mixture and set aside. Repeat the process for the remaining chicken.
  • When all chicken is coated, recrumb a second time.
  • Put oil of choice into frying pan and lightly fry the kievs for a few minutes each side, or until golden brown.
  • Transfer fried kievs to a preheated 180°C or 350°F airfryer for 7 mins, or oven proof roasting tray and bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until done (smaller ones may need a little less time!)
  • Let the kievs rest for 5 mins before serving.

Notes

If you want to ensure your butter doesnt leak out of your kievs, freeze the butter in a cylinder (wrapped in gladwrap) and use it frozen.
If you arent keen on frying, you can bake in the oven for 20 minutes, turning once half way through.
Yes - this can be frozen for a quick dinner - freeze raw! (Bake 180°C or 350°F 25-35 mins from frozen - check after 20 mins)
Experiment with your herbed garlic flavours - for example chilli and ginger for an asian inspired dish or cheese added for a fat boost.
Breadcrumbs can be used as an alternative to the almond meal for those not following LCHF - do an eggwash before crumbing for this.

LCHF Chicken Kiev Thermomix recipe

 

  1. 5 stars
    I love this recipe. I always double it for my freezer stash. I also make it for my sister in law everytime I visit. She ensures I have the ingredients so she can have a freezer stash for an easy meal when she is home alone.

  2. 3 stars
    We found it flavourless and the texture wasn’t appealing. I made it as directed but I think there was too much butter – and I love butter. I wont be making it again.

  3. 5 stars
    I have probably reviewed this recipe previously because I’ve been cooking it for years, but have some new feedback on it. The only time my 3yo will eat meat is in spaghetti bolognaise and in these chicken Kiev’s (or hulk chicken, as it’s known in my house due to the herby green butter). I am so relieved that I can get him to eat them that I now make batches to put in the freezer and cook for him at lunch time (as much as the rest of the family loves them too, we don’t want them every night for dinner haha). My mum even has them in her freezer so he can eat them for lunch when he’s at her house. Such a relief to get some goodness into such a fussy child!

  4. These are so delicious! These are great to make in advance and freeze. I made a double batch recently but while I double the chicken and butter ingredients, I didn’t double the crumb amount as there was ample there. I am looking forward to making them again soon. Such an easy meal to have with some steamed veggies.

  5. From the my 4 y.o. do. Winner winner chicken dinner. A hit and had doubled to freeze as well. Thanks for the delicious recipe

  6. Why did it take us so long to try these. Super easy and tasty. My 14yo turn to cook tonight and I convinced her to try it. We made a double batch for us and guests and they are all gone. These will definitely be on the menu again.

  8. I’d love to make these, but my daughter is allergic to nuts and egg…

    What could I substitute the egg with?

  9. Wow. I wasn’t expecting how good these are despite the reviews. Absolutely fabulous. Will be on the menu regularly now. Just wow!

    you’ve got high quality content. If you want to know how to make extra money, search for: Boorfe’s tips best adsense alternative

    1. Myself, I would omit the (delicious) parmesan, and use Nuttelex or olive oil spread instead of butter. You’d have to freeze the herbed ‘butter’ though due to the softer consistency.

  11. OMG DELICIOUS

    I made these this evening for dinner and gosh I cannot say how delicious these were! Absolutely amazing! So much better than buying them from the shop!

    Thankyou for the recipe!

  12. I just NEED to leave my feedback because these are so so great!!!! I thought Hubby would scoff at the size and want two – but he was fine because they were so tasty!

    I can’t wait to start trying out alternate fillings 🙂
