Braised Chicken & Leeks in Cheese Sauce 💖

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while still melting well.

Chop two leeks and add them to a pan with a little bit of water and olive oil to braise.

Parboil some potatoes in water.

Heat oil in the oven for roasting the potatoes at 200°C.

Once the leeks are wilted down, nestle the chicken breasts into the pan with the leeks.

Cook the chicken gently without frying it until it's almost cooked through.

Add 200 grams of soft cheese to the pan, starting with 150 milliliters, and stir to melt it into the leeks.

If the sauce gets too thick, add a bit of milk or water to loosen it.

Season the sauce with black pepper and taste it.

Instead of salt, add about two tablespoons of Parmesan cheese for a cheesy saltiness.

Tear about two tablespoons of fresh parsley and add it to the sauce.
