Ingredients

4 cloves garlic, crushed

80g unsalted butter, softened

½ x 25g pack flat-leaf parsley, chopped

1 lemon, zested then halved

4 chicken breasts

2tbsp Asda Free From Gluten Free Plain Flour

1 egg, beaten

80g Asda Free From Gluten Free Milk Free Breadcrumbs

300g frozen peas

2tsp dried tarragon

Method

1
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Line a tray with baking paper.
2
Beat together the garlic, butter, parsley and most of the lemon zest. Spoon onto a sheet of baking paper, roll into a log and chill in the freezer for 15 mins until solid.
3
Meanwhile, cut into the side of each chicken breast to create a deep ‘pocket’. Take care not to cut through.
4
Remove the butter from the freezer and cut into 4 equal pieces. Push a piece into each pocket and reseal.
5
Put the flour, egg and breadcrumbs on 3 separate plates. Coat the breasts in the flour first, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Put on the baking tray and bake for 20-25 mins until golden and cooked through.
6
Meanwhile, cook the peas in a pan of boiling water for 5 mins. Drain, return to the pan and stir in juice ½ lemon, the remaining zest and the tarragon. Season with black pepper and mash. Serve with the Kiev and the remaining lemon, cut into wedges.
