Instructions
1
- Pour 300ml cold salted water (double for 4p) into a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid.
- Stir in the rice and bring to the boil.
- Once boiling, lower the heat to medium, cover and cook for 10 mins.
- Remove from the heat. Keep covered for 10 mins or until ready to serve (the rice will continue to cook in its own steam).
- Trim and thinly slice the leek. Peel and grate the garlic.
2
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Add the chicken and cook until browned all over, 3-4 mins (it shouldn't be fully cooked yet). IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove the chicken from the pan.
TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging used to keep it fresh.
3
- Return the (now empty) pan to medium-high heat with a knob of butter.
- Once the butter is melted, add the leeks and stock. Season with salt and pepper.
- Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook until softened, 8-10 mins.
- Add the chicken, garlic, creme fraiche, Worcester sauce, peas and 25ml water (double for 4p).
- Mix together and cook until reduced slightly, 5-7 mins. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
4
- While the sauce simmers, roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
- Fluff up the rice with a fork and divide between plates.
- Spoon the creamy chicken and leeks over the top.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley and cheese.
