CHICKEN IN MUSTARD SAUCE WITH LEEKS



Chicken in Mustard Sauce With Leeks image

Chicken breasts wrapped in bacon with tender leeks. This delicious and filling dish takes very little time to make. The leeks, which are the sweetest of the onion family, offer a tasty contrast to the flavours of the bacon and mustard sauce. Look for fresh, young leeks which are mainly white, not green.
