Cook this creamy, comforting stew to serve with our smashed mini jacket potatoes. This warming one-pot with chicken, peas and leeks is perfect for a special family meal

Provided by Lulu Grimes

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 1h5m

Yield Serves 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 leeks , halved and finely sliced
2 tbsp olive oil , plus extra if needed
1 tbsp butter
8 small chicken thighs
500ml chicken stock
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
75g crème fraîche
200g frozen peas
3 tbsp dried or fresh breadcrumbs
small bunch of parsley , finely chopped

Steps:

  • Tip the leeks and oil into a flameproof casserole dish on a low heat, add the butter and cook everything very gently for 10 mins or until the leeks are soft.
  • Put the chicken, skin-side down, in a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat, cook until the skin browns, then turn and brown the other side. You shouldn't need any oil but if the skin starts to stick, add a little. Add the chicken to the leeks, leaving behind any fat in the pan.
  • Add the stock to the dish and bring to a simmer, season well, cover and cook for 30 mins on low. Stir in the mustard, crème fraîche and peas and bring to a simmer. You should have quite a bit of sauce.
  • When you're ready to serve, put the grill on. Mix the breadcrumbs and parsley, sprinkle them over the chicken and grill until browned.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality chicken broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your stew. If you don't have any chicken broth on hand, you can use water, but your stew will not be as flavorful.
  • Brown your chicken before adding it to the stew. This will help to give the chicken a nice golden color and will also help to develop the flavor.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is a delicate meat and can easily become dry and tough if it is overcooked. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, but not for any longer.
  • Add vegetables that you like. This recipe is very versatile and you can add any vegetables that you like. Some good options include carrots, celery, potatoes, onions, and peas.
  • Season the stew to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
  • Serve the stew hot. Chicken stew is best served hot, with a side of crusty bread or rice.

Conclusion:

Creamy homemade chicken stew is a delicious and comforting meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a creamy homemade chicken stew that is sure to please everyone at your table.
