Sainsbury's British Chicken Kievs
What it is
These are tender chicken breasts that have been carefully prepared and coated in a crispy breadcrumb. Inside, they contain a generous filling of garlic butter, which melts and infuses the chicken as it cooks. The kievs are made using chicken sourced from Britain, ensuring a certain standard of quality. They are a convenient and flavorful meal option for busy households.
How people cook with it
Chicken kievs are a popular choice for a satisfying main course. They pair well with a variety of side dishes.
- Oven-baked for a crispy finish
- Served with mashed potatoes
- Accompanied by green vegetables
- A quick weeknight dinner
To prepare these chicken kievs, preheat your oven to the recommended temperature. Place the frozen kievs on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Ensure they are spaced out to allow for even cooking and browning. Bake for the specified time, turning them halfway through if necessary, until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. The garlic butter inside should be fully melted and bubbling. Serve immediately to enjoy the warm, flowing butter.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to plain chicken breasts, these kievs offer a distinct garlic butter flavor and a crunchy texture from the breading. The preparation process adds a layer of richness and convenience that plain chicken lacks. The inclusion of the butter filling is a defining characteristic of a chicken kiev.

How to keep the rest
Keep any remaining chicken kievs frozen in their original packaging. Ensure the package is sealed tightly to prevent freezer burn. Store them in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator until ready to cook. Do not refreeze once thawed.
