The other day we watched Tom Kerridge’s Best Ever Dishes on BBC Two and, like many others I’m sure, we decided immediately that we just had to make Tom Kerridge’s Chicken Kievs for dinner. As I always do, I took a look at the original recipe to see how my Thermomix could make it faster and easier to produce. The obvious answers were the garlic butter and the breadcrumbs.

Start with Tom’s original recipe on the BBC Food website and work your ingredients as follows:

Thermomix Garlic Butter
Thermomix’s carefully controlled heating function enables you to make garlic butter using butter straight from the refrigerator! Add a drop of brandy and this becomes a classic for snails. Perfect for garlic bread, too. Spread on a large rectangle of Thermomix puff pastry, fold over and roll out several times and then cut into strips or squares for lovely garlicky appetizer treats and party food.

Ingredients (use these or Tom’s)
2 or 3 cloves garlic
a large handful of parsley leaves
1 tsp. fine sea salt
½ tsp. cayenne pepper – or – 1 Tbsp. brandy or cognac– or – 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
100 g butter – straight from the refrigerator – diced or in chunks*

Method

  1. Peel the garlic 5 seconds/Speed 4 ½/Reverse Blade Function. Remove skins and discard, leaving the garlic in the TM bowl.
  2. Drop the parsley on the running blades at Speed 5 and turn off. Scrape down with the spatula.
  3. Add the salt, cayenne or brandy or black pepper and your chunks of butter. Mix and warm 10 seconds/37° C/Speed 1. Scrape down again and mix 10 seconds/Speed 3 (no heat this time). Transfer to a piping bag and reserve at room temperature.
  4. Follow Tom’s recipe to fill and chill the chicken breasts before browning, baking and enjoying, or use in any other recipe you choose.

Faux Panko Breadcrumbs
Living in France, I have a freezer full of baguette ends just waiting to be transformed into these crispy breadcrumbs. You probably have ends of your Thermomix bread in yours, too! Thermomix helps reduce waste and save money on expensive ingredients. Use for Tom Kerridge’s Chicken Kievs, for fish, chicken, vegetables, etc. Sprinkle on top of macaroni cheese or vegetable gratin for added crunch – the possibilities are endless, and you made them yourself!

Ingredients
150 g bread – fresh or dried or even frozen – in chunks*

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 160° C and put a baking tray out on the worktop. For fresh bread, add to TM bowl and Turbo pulse a few times until crumbed. For dried or frozen bread, process on Speed 10 for a few seconds until crumbed.
  2. Spread bread crumbs in an even layer on your baking tray and dry in the oven about 10 minutes or until dried and golden. Use for Tom Kerridge’s Chicken Kievs as per his recipe or invent one of your own 😉

Madame Thermomix’s Top Tips and Tricks:
*Do you know the Thermomix Rule of Thumb for maximum chunk size? Our friend the Thermomix can process pieces that could fit through the hole in the Thermomix lid 😉 You can drop your bread chunks on the running blades if you wish, just make sure to put the measuring cup on after each addition!

Bon appétit !
