This recipe offers a delightful twist on the classic Chicken Kiev, featuring a creamy garlic and herb filling that keeps the chicken moist and flavorful.
Combine the yogurt, minced garlic, chopped chives, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper in a mixing bowl.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Cut a pocket into each chicken breast by making a horizontal slit along the side.
Be careful not to cut all the way through the chicken breast.
Fill each pocket with a portion of the yogurt mixture, then secure the opening with toothpicks if necessary.
Do not overfill the pockets to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
Arrange the stuffed chicken breasts in a baking dish and spoon any remaining yogurt mixture over the top.
Ensure the chicken breasts are evenly spaced for uniform cooking.
Preheat the oven to 400°F and bake the chicken for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the top is golden brown.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F.
Serve the chicken warm, garnished with additional chopped chives if desired.
Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
