Chicken, Mushroom & Leeks in a Cream & White Wine Sauce is utterly delicious and perfect for a mid-week meal or entertaining. Great for using up leftover white wine and cream!

When I came up with this dish for dinner the other night I didn’t imagine what a hard time I would have naming it as it’s not exactly a short and snappy title! I settled with Chicken, Mushroom & Leeks in a Cream & White Wine Sauce because that’s exactly what it is!

I’m not much of a planner when it comes to cooking, I’m more of a Ready, Steady, Cook kinda gal! So I’ll take something out of the freezer the night before (or lunch time knowing me) and have a vague idea of what I’m going to make!

So the other night I had 4 chicken breasts and after a fridge raid I found mushroom, leeks, cream and white wine.

“Perfect” I thought, we don’t really drink wine (apart from the odd glass of fizz on special occasions) but I do love the flavour it gives to dishes.

If guests have ever left wine behind after a party I fill my ice cube trays with it and use it for cooking later. This also works with cider but it’s rare that a bottle of cider would go undrunk in our house.

Not that we drink very often, but I do love the taste of cider!

Anyway back to the Chicken, Mushroom & Leeks in a Cream & White Wine Sauce, (think I should give out prizes if anyone can remember the title LOL); my family were all very impressed and heaped praise on me for such a delicious midweek meal.

Good food doesn’t have to be complicated and with just a few quality ingredients you have the makings of an excellent meal!
