I had some leeks in the fridge, so briefly checked goodfood.com for inspiration. Found it quite quickly, but made it mine right away by replacing my least favourite part of the chicken- breast- with 3 roasted thighs, that came from Ocado this morning. The other three will be a part of chicken ceasar’s tomorrow, I’ve been craving it for weeks.

A leek chopped thinly and fried up with a little bacon left from the long weekend. The thighs, chopped, added, a touch of chicken stock, then lots of black pepper, finally some cream+flour to make the sauce. Creamy mash piped on top, baked in 190 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Served with buttered greens.

Success in many ways; my husband Florek, truly awesome in many ways is a fussy and seasonal chicken fan. How can one not like a roasted chicken thigh with crispy skin is beyond me, he is capable of leaving half of the meat on the plate. Today was not the case, he finished the whole thing. So did Izzie. Dustin too got some chicken meat, so everyone was left sated.  More pies to follow. 🙂
