CHICKEN, LEEK AND SWEET POTATO ONE POT



Chicken, Leek and Sweet Potato One Pot image

I picked this recipe up in a family circle booklet. The best thing I like about this recipe is that it is all cooked in one pot. I often throw in peas or beans towards the end of cooking so it is a complete meal. I have also cooked this one is a crockpot by just cutting down of the amount of liquid.

Provided by georgia

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Chicken Soup Recipes

Time 2h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (2 pound) fryer chicken
3 cups water
2 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth
1 tablespoon salted butter
3 large leeks, sliced
1 quart heavy cream
2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place chicken, water, and chicken broth in a large, heavy stockpot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until liquid has reduced by about half, chicken is no longer pink at the bone, and the juices run clear, about 1 1/2 hours. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone, should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • Remove chicken and allow to cool. Strain stock and set aside.
  • Add butter to the stockpot and melt over medium heat. Add leeks and saute until browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in cream, potatoes, and reserved stock; cook at a simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile debone the chicken and dice the meat.
  • Add diced chicken to the soup and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes more.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best. They cook quickly and evenly, and they're easy to slice or shred.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you're using a smaller pot, cook the chicken in batches. Overcrowding the pot will make it difficult for the chicken to brown evenly.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for leeks, sweet potatoes, and carrots, but you can use any vegetables you like. Some other good options include celery, parsnips, and turnips.
  • Season the chicken and vegetables well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Cook the chicken and vegetables until they're tender: The chicken should be cooked through and the vegetables should be soft. If the vegetables are still crunchy, cook them for a few minutes longer.
  • Serve the chicken and vegetables over rice or noodles: This is a hearty and satisfying meal that's perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Conclusion:

This chicken, leek, and sweet potato one-pot is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for busy weeknights. It's packed with flavor and nutrition, and it's sure to please the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner recipe, give this one a try.
