CREAMED CHICKEN AND LEEKS
Steps:
- Heat the butter in a saucepan. When foaming subsides, but before it gets brown add the leeks and celery and 1/4 cup of the chicken broth. Cover and simmer over low heat for 5 minutes; do not let it get brown. Add the chicken, skin side up along with bouquet garni and enough of the broth to just cover the chicken. Cover and simmer, over very low heat for 30 minutes or until chicken is just cooked through. Remove chicken from the broth; remove and discard skin and bones and cut chicken into chunks. Remove and discard bouquet garni.
- Puree the liquid through a food mill and return it to the saucepan. Add remaining broth and boil it down until reduced to 4 cups. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add lemon juice to chicken and set in microwavable dish.
- Blend egg yolks and cream together. Very slowly ladle 1 cup of hot broth into the mixture. Return this tempered mixture to the soup and bring to under a simmer to thicken. Reheat chicken for a minute in microwave oven and distribute it among 4 soup plates. Ladle thickened broth over chicken and garnish with parsley. Serve over boiled potatoes or with bread
CHICKEN WITH LEEKS AND CREAM
Simple yet very tasty dish! Originally found on the internet. I add a little more cream (personal preference) :) Its great with just white rice to serve over. (cook time doesn't include cooking the chicken) This receipe was originally published in the cookbook "The Frugal Gourmet" by Jeff Smith. It calls for using his recipe for Boiled Chicken, Chinese style first to prepare the chicken.

Steps:
- Tear up the chicken meat into bite sized pieces.
- Cut the leeks into 2-inch pieces up to the point where the leek begins to turn green. Slice the piece once lengthwise, and divide the leaves. Rinse if dirty.
- Saute the leek stems and garlic in the oil. Then, add leek leaves, if desired. Do not allow the leaves to discolor; you simply want to cook them until they are barely tender.
- Add the chicken to the pan, and cook it until hot. Add the salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix well, and add the cream. Heat, and serve. Decorate with parsley.

HEALTHY CHICKEN WITH PEAR AND LEEK SAUCE
A good weekday chicken dish that takes under an hour to make (as long as you don't have to run to the store for leeks!). I adapted this recipe from the October 2008 issue of Eating Well magazine, so it's healthy as well as tasty. My 4 year old daughter told me "make this every night", so it was a big hit! The original recipe was made with skinless, boneless, trimmed chicken thighs and currant jelly -- I substituted skinless, boneless chicken breast and, as I couldn't find currant jelly, canned cranberry sauce (like for Thanksgiving). The recipe also called for fresh, peeled and diced pear, but Whole Foods has canned Bartlett pears in pear juice which saved me lots of time. I served this with my Couscous with Peas and Carrots and steamed broccoli.
