Healthy chicken with mushroom and leeks recipe

Step 1

Place chicken on a plate and drizzle with 1 tsp of oil. Toss to coat. Season well. Place dried porcini mushrooms in a bowl and cover with warm water. Set aside for 10 minutes to soak. Drain, reserving soaking liquid. Roughly chop rehydrated porcini and set aside.

Step 2

Heat a large heavy-based frying pan over high heat. Cook chicken for 3 minutes or until golden on 1 side. Turn and cook for 3 minutes or until almost cooked through. Transfer to a clean plate.

Step 3

Reduce heat to medium and add remaining oil. Cook shallot and leek, stirring, for 5 minutes or until golden and caramelised. Add stock, garlic, porcini and soaking liquid, mushroom, thyme and mustard. Stir and bring to a simmer. Return chicken to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes. Stir in crème fraîche. Simmer for a further 3-5 minutes or until sauce has reduced and thickened.

Step 4

Slice chicken and serve with mushroom sauce and broccolini or green beans. Top with baby parsley leaves to serve.
