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