YOU NEED:

  • 100g medium-fat soft cheese
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 4 x 165g skinless chicken breast fillets
  • 4 tbsp plain flour
  • 4 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 180g panko breadcrumbs
  • 500g baby potatoes, thinly sliced
  • Calorie-controlled cooking spray
  • 200g cherry tomatoes on the vine
  • Finely pared zest of ½ lemon, plus lemon wedges to serve
  • 300g fine green beans

METHOD:

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C, fan 180C, gas mark 6. Combine the soft cheese, garlic and parsley in a small bowl. Cut a deep pocket into thickest part of each chicken breast, being careful to not cut all the way through. Spoon a quarter of the cheese mixture into each, then press the edges together to seal, and enclose the filling.
  2. Put the flour, eggs and panko breadcrumbs into separate ­shallow bowls. Season the flour, then coat each chicken breast in the flour, then the eggs and finally the breadcrumbs. Repeat with the egg and breadcrumbs so each chicken breast has a double coating of crumb, then season and set aside.
  3. Put the potato slices on a large baking tray in a single layer. Mist with cooking spray and roast for 10 minutes.
  4. Add the chicken Kievs to the tray with the potatoes. Mist with cooking spray and bake together for 20 minutes. Add the cherry tomatoes to the tray and bake for a further 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and scatter over the zest.
  5. Meanwhile, cook the beans in a pan of boiling water for 3-4 minutes until tender. Drain.
  6. Serve the Kievs, potatoes and tomatoes with the beans and lemon wedges on the side.
