Creamy Dijon Chicken

Absolutely yummy! And lucky enough to have a teensy bit leftover for lunch today. Love the fact your recipes are 'homemade'-able. Am a Saffer living in Switzerland and found your blog whilst browing for SA food recipes...now linked as a favourite for regular access.

Ingredients:

• 4 large skinless & de-boned chicken breasts (Left whole, cubed or flattened)
• 2 large leeks, finely sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, crushed
• 250ml (8.45 fluid ounces) cream
• 2tsp Dijon mustard
• 1tsp wholegrain mustard
• juice of 1/2 lemon
• salt & pepper to taste
• starch of your choice to serve
• fresh Parsley to serve
• olive oil for frying

Instructions:

1. Heat 2tbsn oil in a large frying pan and fry the chicken until cooked through and browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
2. Fry the leeks and garlic until fragrant and softened (about 5 minutes).
3. Add the cream, mustards and lemon juice and allow to simmer and reduce for 3 minutes.
4. Add lemon juice and place the chicken back into the sauce.
5. Season to taste and serve with the starch of your choice and a sprinkling of chopped parsley.
