Method

Pat the chicken dry then lightly cover the chicken with olive oil then using your hands, rub the 4 x teaspoons of Spice Seasoning from the pouch well into the chicken together with your preferred salt and pepper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Then in a medium hot pan add 2 x tablespoons of the butter and a little olive oil and brown the seasoned chicken on all sides and set aside.

Next, in the pan, add the leeks with the remaining butter and a little more olive oil and cook down until nicely caramelised and soft.

Now add the chicken stock to deglaze the pan, stir well then add the heavy cream, lemon and parsley and stir again.

Return the chicken to the pan, cover with the sauce and cook over a medium heat, stirring a couple of times, until the chicken is firm but not over cooked - about 15 minutes. Serve with your choice of rice or pasta.
