Simple Chicken & Leek Stew
- 1 lb. boneless chicken breasts, cut into 2" pieces
- flour for dredging
- salt & pepper
- 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
- 3 leeks, trimmed and cut into thin slices
- 1/2 lb. cremini mushrooms
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh thyme
- handful of frozen peas
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard (I used grainy mustard and Dijon mixed)
- In a heavy large skillet, cook the leeks and mushrooms a few minutes till done, and transfer to a bowl.
- Coat the chicken pieces in flour w/ salt & pepper, shaking off the excess flour.
- In the same skillet, add more olive oil and cook the chicken pieces about 3 minutes per side until done.
- Add the chicken stock and bring to a simmer with the fresh thyme for about 5 minutes until chicken is cooked thru. Add the vegetables back into the pan and simmer another minute with the frozen peas.
- In a small bowl, combine the sour cream and mustards together.
- Stir the mustard cream mixture into the stew at the end, just before serving, and season with salt & pepper.
