Ingredients

  • 2 tbs olive oil
  • 4 chicken breast fillets
  • 1 leek, pale section only, thinly sliced
  • 200g cup mushrooms, sliced

  • 1 tbs plain flour
  • 300ml light cooking cream
  • 60g pkt baby spinach

  2. Heat remaining oil in the pan over medium heat. Cook leek, mushroom and garlic, stirring, for 2 mins or until leek softens. Add flour and cook, stirring, for 1 min or until vegetables are well coated.
  3. Return the chicken to the pan with the cream. Cook, covered, for 3 mins or until the sauce thickens slightly. Stir in the spinach and chives. Season.
