Before cooking the chicken for his lovely stew, Jamie Oliver lightly coats the pieces in flour. Not only does that help the meat brown, it also thickens the tangy mustard sauce. More Fast Chicken Recipes
How to Make It
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the leeks and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 7 minutes. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are tender, about 4 minutes. Scrape the leeks and mushrooms onto a plate.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper and lightly dust with flour, shaking off any excess. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet. Add the chicken and cook over moderate heat until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Add the chicken stock and thyme and simmer over moderate heat until the chicken is just cooked through, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken to the plate with the vegetables.
Simmer the stock over moderately high heat until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Return the chicken, leeks and mushrooms to the skillet and simmer over low heat until warmed through, about 1 minute.
In a small bowl, blend the sour cream with the mustard and stir into the stew. Remove the skillet from the heat. Season the stew with salt and pepper and serve.

Review Body: I made this tonite and it was delicious. I followed the recipe exactly but at the end I felt it needed a lot more Dijon mustard than 2 tsp., so I added more (probably 2 Tbsp). I think the leftovers will be even better after a night soaking in the sauce. Served over brown basmati rice. I wouldn’t call it a stew though.

Review Body: Very simple stew with a rich blend of flavor. I used creme fraiche instead of sour creme but otherwised followed the recipe. It went great with a fresh loaf of sourdough bread.

Review Body: super awesome and easy recipe. made this and it was delicious. I would even add in a 1/4 cup of white wine when I saute the leeks and mushrooms. I often cook with leeks. Thanks for sharing. Eugene
