I have had a bunch of her cookbooks forever and am finally using them. Last night I made the Leeky Chicken. It was so easy to make, I won't even bother to go upstairs and grab the recipe book. That and I am lazy.
Ok, grab a package of chicken cutlets and put them in a warm pan with olive oil. Season them with salt and pepper when you put them in the pan. While the chicken is cooking, cut up two small or one large leek. Make sure that you rinse the leeks really well because there is a lot of dirt in between the layers. When the chicken has been flipped, go ahead and throw the leeks in with the chicken. Let them hang out together for a couple of minutes and then add one cup of white wine. Let all of that chill for about 3 minutes and add one tablespoon of butter. This concoction is supposed to be served over couscous. Couscous is AWESOME because it is super easy to make, cheap and delicious. Bring 1.5 cups of chicken broth to a boil and then to that, add 1.25 cups of couscous. Remove from the heat, cover with a lid and allow to rest for about 5 minutes. Stir and serve. The recipe tells you to add 1/4 cup of golden raisins when you add the couscous to the broth. I didn't have golden, so I used regular raisins and Henry loved it!!
