Chicken with Creamy Braised Leeks

Cook
30 m
Ready In
1 h
Recipe By: EatingWell Test Kitchen 

Ingredients

8 medium or 4 large leeks
2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
6 cloves garlic, halved
6 sprigs fresh thyme
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (5-6 ounces each), trimmed and tenders removed (see Note)
½ teaspoon salt, divided
½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper, divided
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
½ cup heavy cream

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 425°F.
2
Trim roots and dark green tops from leeks, leaving 5 to 6 inches of white and light green parts. Cut the leeks in half lengthwise (or in quarters, if large); rinse well. Place the leeks in a single layer in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, on their sides if necessary, nestling them together. Pour in broth; submerge the garlic and thyme in the broth between the leeks.
3
Bake the leeks for 40 minutes.
4
After about 30 minutes, sprinkle chicken with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add the chicken and cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from the heat.
5
After 40 minutes, remove the leeks from the oven and nestle the chicken into them. Add cream and the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt to the hot skillet (but do not turn the burner back on). Stir up any browned bits and let the cream heat up from the warmth of the pan. Pour the cream mixture over the leeks and chicken.
6
Return the baking dish to the oven and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast registers 165°F, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve the chicken with the braised leeks, spooning the sauce over both.

Servings: 4
Calories: 552 kcal

Ingredients
⅓ cup honey
¼ cup packed light brown sugar
⅓ cup bourbon
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 cloves garlic minced
2 pounds steak (rib-eye sirloin, or filet), cut into chunks
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons butter divided
1 (6-ounce) package mushrooms cut in quarters

Instructions

In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, brown sugar, bourbon, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, red pepper flakes, and garlic. Pour into a large ziptop bag. Add steak cubes and refrigerate for 2 to 4 hours.

Heat vegetable oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a cast iron pan over medium-high heat.

Add steak. You will probably need to cook it in two batches because you don't want to crowd the pan. Cook until seared on all sides. Remove from pan. Add remaining butter to pan and cook mushrooms until browned.
