could someone please help me with this?

[cheeryface]

i just tried to make some garlicy chicken.
i got a chicken fillet and made a sort of space in it where i shoved some butter mixed with garlic granules and then coated it in breadcrumbs.

i wrapped in tin foil and put in oven for 40 minutes.

thing is the butter just seems to have run into the breadcrumbs as they are all soggy and the chicken inside is just bland?

i was going to make this for everyone for tea tonight....help!

breadcrumbs should not be wrapped unles sin stuffing
they need the hot air to crisp or they will essentially steam
I use philadelphia and crushed garlic to make garlic chickken or chick kiev as the butter always comes out and burns.I make a really small slit, open it inside (behind) the slit IYSWIM and stuff there then toothpick it(soak it first) together.
I lost the incentive for breadcrumbs but you need to dip chicken in flour, then egg then the breadbrumbs and bake without foil
HTH

ps use fresh garlic

thanx for that. how long should i cook them for?

I flatten out the chicken breast first then put the garlic butter (fresh garlic) and parsley towards one end of the chicken, roll it up then cover in breadcrumbs and secure with cocktail sticks! That way the garlic butter is well within the inside of the chicken! Does that make sense?

You need to breadcrumb just before frying,not hours in advance.
Also make sure the butter is very cold-will stay in place better.

And finally-stay away from garlic granules.It's the devil's dandruff.Use fresh.

try mixing the butter with garlic and then pop it in the freezer before putting it in the chicken,
