Time 1h5m

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 leeks , halved and finely sliced
2 tbsp olive oil , plus extra if needed
1 tbsp butter
8 small chicken thighs
500ml chicken stock
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
75g crème fraîche
200g frozen peas
3 tbsp dried or fresh breadcrumbs
small bunch of parsley , finely chopped

Steps:

  • Tip the leeks and oil into a flameproof casserole dish on a low heat, add the butter and cook everything very gently for 10 mins or until the leeks are soft.
  • Put the chicken, skin-side down, in a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat, cook until the skin browns, then turn and brown the other side. You shouldn't need any oil but if the skin starts to stick, add a little. Add the chicken to the leeks, leaving behind any fat in the pan.
  • Add the stock to the dish and bring to a simmer, season well, cover and cook for 30 mins on low. Stir in the mustard, crème fraîche and peas and bring to a simmer. You should have quite a bit of sauce.
  • When you're ready to serve, put the grill on. Mix the breadcrumbs and parsley, sprinkle them over the chicken and grill until browned.
