In the same skillet, add sliced leeks, diced onion, and minced garlic; sauté until leeks are soft, about 3-4 minutes.

Pour in chicken stock and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet.

Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

Add grated parmesan cheese and stir until melted and the sauce is creamy.

Return chicken to the skillet, coating it in the sauce; simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
