If you enjoy the taste of chicken kiev, you will also like this baked garlic chicken recipe because it is very similar, apart from the fact that the flavorings are on the outside of the chicken rather than used to stuff it. Rolling the chicken in the garlic butter mixture means the flavors will soak right through into the chicken flesh and flavor this dish wonderfully. The cheese and breadcrumbs stick to the butter mixture and you can sprinkle any breadcrumbs that fall off over the top. As the cheese melts during cooking, that will help the breadcrumbs to stay attached to the chicken.
The chicken is cooked to perfection in the oven and is very good served with mashed potatoes and a couple of seasonal vegetables on the side. For an extra cheesy flavor, you can use vintage or extra mature cheddar cheese instead of a milder version. You can also combine a couple of different cheeses if you like, to give your garlic chicken recipes a different flavor.
