Instructions
Trim the root and dark green leafy part from the leek and discard. Halve lengthways, then thinly slice.
Drain and rinse the butter beans in a sieve.
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on medium-high heat.
Melt the butter (see pantry for amount), then add the leek and mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook until the leek has until softened and mushrooms browned, 6-8 mins, stirring occasionally.
Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 30 secs. Then pour in cider vinegar and cook until evaporated, 1 min.
Stir in the creme fraiche, chicken stock paste and water (see pantry for amount). Bring to the boil.
Stir the chicken thighs and butter beans into the sauce. Lower the heat, pop a lid on the pan and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 10-12 mins.
IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Meanwhile, finely chop the chives (use scissors if easier).
Once cooked through, use two forks to shred the chicken into small pieces.
Stir through the cheese until melted.
Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if it's a little thick.
Share the chicken, leek and mushroom into your bowls.
Sprinkle over the chives to finish.
Enjoy!
