Creamy chicken & leeks recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 rashers unsmoked streaky bacon, chopped
  • 2 skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips
  • 2 leeks, sliced into thin rounds
  • 1 tbsp plain flour
  • 300ml chicken stock
  • 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
  • 2 tbsp crème fraîche

Method

  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan and fry the bacon for 2 mins. Add the chicken, then cook with the bacon for a further 2-3 mins, until the pieces begin to turn golden. Tip in the leeks and cook gently for 10 mins until wilted and tender.
