What is in Creamy Leek Chicken
- Chicken breasts
- Heavy cream
- Chicken broth
- Flour or Corn Starch
- Olive oil and butter
- Garlic cloves
- Chicken broth
- Mustard powder
- Garlic powder
Super creamy and delicious, I like to add a bit of flour to thicken it up.
You can also cook whole garlic cloves into the sauce if you’d like. They won’t be spicy as long as you allow the sauce to make them soft.
