Jamie Oliver's Simple Chicken and Leek Stew
Jamie Oliver's simple chicken with leeks stew delivers delicious comfort in just 45 minutes. Enjoy it over a bed of steamed rice.
For his lovely stew, Jamie Oliver lightly coats the chicken in flour. Not only does that help the meat brown, it also thickens the tangy mustard sauce.
The stew comes together from a relatively short ingredient list in just about 45 minutes, making it a terrific meal option any night of the week. It features tender leeks, cremini mushrooms, and chunks of skinless, boneless chicken breast, all perfumed with fresh thyme and made creamy with a generous dollop of mustard-tinged sour cream.
Oliver recommends serving it over steamed rice.
If you're not accustomed to cooking with leeks, you might be mystified by their scallions-on-steroids appearance. They do require a bit more TLC than scallions, but preparing them is not difficult. After you've given your leeks an initial rinse, trim off the bottom root end.
