Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan and fry the bacon for 2 mins. Add the chicken, then cook with the bacon for a further 2-3 mins, until the pieces begin to turn golden. Tip in the leeks and cook gently for 10 mins until wilted and tender.
  2. Stir through the flour and gradually add the stock, stirring constantly. Add the wholegrain mustard and crème fraîche, stir again, then simmer gently for 5 mins until the sauce is slightly thickened and creamy. Serve on top of baked jacket potatoes.

    So easy to make. Try mixing with pasta instead of the jacket potato, lovely.

    Yum, Yum!! This is a super easy, super tasty dish. I left out the bacon and added a pepper cut into strips which worked just as well I thought. And I had it with pasta, not a baked potato. Will definitely be one to make again.

    easy, tasty, used plain low fat yoghourt instead of creme fraiche as i didn't have the latter, & put in pancakes intstead of potato (as it's pancake day). Yummy

    It was really lovely - I had to use sour cream instead of creme fraiche (Currently live in the US), but it worked out anyway. I also added mushrooms and some onions.

    a very tasty topping for jacket potatoes. i used a little less chicken stock than stated and only one leek (as it was rather large). i think i put a bit too much mustard in - not something you'll hear me say very often! - and would use a more accurately measured tablespoonful in the future. the portions were quite generous, although nothing we couldn't manage... i just wished that we had bigger potatoes!

    I was slightly disappointed by this recipe as I found it all a bit too much. I don't think you need the chicken and in fact it would be a nicer, lighter meal without it. And it makes a huge amount!
