- 3 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 large Leeks
- 150ml White wine
- 500ml vegetable stock
- extra Leeks, to serve

3. Heat the oil in an ovenproof frying pan and fry the chicken breasts on all sides until golden. It doesn't need to cook through - you just want to seal the outside. Remove the chicken and set aside.
4. Add the wine and stock to the pan and poach the leeks until soft but not falling apart.
5. Allow them to cool slightly, and then wrap the strips of leek around the chicken.
7. Return the chicken to the pan, place in the oven and cook for 20 minutes.
