Creamy chicken, sweetcorn and leeks
This is a fab chicken dish the whole family will love. It is creamy and very flavoursome. Chicken breast is sauteed in olive oil with leeks and sweetcorn. A finish of cream brings it to the next level. Serve over rice, or even pasta. It can also be used as a beautiful pie filling; simply place in a baking dish (or individual ramekins) and cover with puff pastry!

- If using, cook the rice using your preferred method.
- Coat the diced chicken breast in flour (I place the chicken and flour in a plastic bag and shake it, it's quick and simple.)
- Place oil and chicken in pan over medium high heat and fry until lightly browned. Add leek and cook for further 2 minutes. Add chicken stock and bring to the boil. Reduce heat, add sweetcorn and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes.
- Add cream and simmer uncovered for further 5 minutes or until it thickens up. Can be served over rice or by itself. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

So easy, with just a few Ingredients. Did worry about lack of salt but the stock cube compensated well. I did add pepper though. Very tasty....will definitely do it again, with maybe a pastry topping. - 13 Jan 2014
