PREPARATION

  • 1

    Pat the chicken breast dry and season with salt and pepper on both sides.

  • 2

    Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breast for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove chicken and set aside.

  • 3

    Clean the leeks thoroughly and slice them into 1/2-inch rounds. Mince the garlic.

  • 4

    In the same skillet, add the unsalted butter and let it melt. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  • 5

    Add the sliced leeks to the skillet, stirring to coat in the garlic-butter. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  • 6

    Pour in the chicken broth and add the seared chicken back into the skillet. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 8-10 minutes until the leeks are tender and the chicken is cooked through.

  • 7

    Remove the lid and let any excess liquid evaporate if needed. Stir in the fresh thyme and parsley, allowing them to crisp slightly in the warm butter sauce.

  • 8

    Slice the chicken breast and serve it atop the garlicky braised leeks. Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired.
