Tip the leek and shallot and
oil into a flameproof casserole dish on a low heat, add
the butter and cook everything very gently for 10 mins or
until the leek and shallot are soft.
-
Put the chicken, skin-side
down, in a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat,
cook until the skin browns, then turn and brown the other
side. You shouldn't need any oil but if the skin starts to
stick, add a little. Add the chicken to the leek and
shallot mixture, leaving behind any fat in the pan.
-
Add the stock to the dish and
bring to a simmer, season well, cover and cook for 30 mins
on low. Stir in the mustard, creme fraiche and peas and
bring to a simmer. You should have quite a bit of sauce.
-
When you’re ready to serve,
put the grill on. Mix the breadcrumbs and parsley,
sprinkle them over the chicken and grill until browned.
