Instructions
1
- Boil a large pot of salted water for the rice.
- Stir in the chicken stock and mix well.
- Add the rice and cook for 10-12 mins.
- Drain in a sieve and pop back in the pot. Cover with a lid and leave to the side until ready to serve.
TIP: If you're in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
2
- Clean the mushrooms with kitchen paper and cut them into quarters.
- Trim the root and the dark green leafy part from the leek. Halve lengthways, then thinly slice.
3
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan on medium-high heat.
- When hot, fry the mushrooms and leek for 4-6 mins, stirring occasionally.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove from the pan and set aside.
4
- Sprinkle both sides of the chicken breast with oregano, salt and pepper.
- Heat a drizzle of oil in the (now empty) pan and brown the chicken on all sides for 3-5 mins. It shouldn't be fully cooked at this point. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
5
- Add the mushrooms, leek, creme fraiche and 75ml water (double for 4p) to the pan.
- Cover and cook for 2-6 mins, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the middle.
- Remove the lid and cook for another 4 mins or until the sauce has reduced.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
6
- Divide the rice between plates and place the chicken on top.
- Cover with the mushroom sauce.
