Creamy Dijon Chicken

Another great chicken recipe.  Easily bump up the flavour to a boring chicken dinner.  Great recipe for families with kids- very approachable flavours.  Lots of sauce leftover so a great dinner to serve with plain rice.

(I changed the recipe a bit)

Ingredients:

4-6 chicken pieces (bone-in is fine, but take off the skin)
2 large leeks, finely sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup cream
2 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp wholegrain mustard
juice of 1 lemon
salt & pepper to taste
fresh Parsley to sprinkle on top (about 2-4 tbsp)
oil for frying

Directions:

Heat a couple tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan and sear chicken on both sides until nice and brown.

Remove chicken to an oven safe dish.

Gently saute leeks and garlic until fragrant and softened (about five mins).

Add cream, mustards and and allow to simmer and reduce for 3 minutes.

Add lemon juice and then pour sauce over chicken.

Bake at 350 for 15-40 minutes depending on size of chicken and whether it's bone-in.  Use a meat thermometer and keep and eye on it. 

When chicken is done, sprinkle fresh parsley over whole dish.  Serve along side plain rice with all that delicious sauce.
