Ingredients

1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast or thighs

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp dried rosemary

1 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp sea salt

0.5 tsp black pepper

0.5 lemon juiced

2 tbsp unsalted butter

3 cloves garlic minced

1 cup heavy cream

0.5 cup crumbled feta cheese

0.5 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp Dijon mustard

1 to 2 tsp white truffle oil

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tbsp cream cheese (optional)

2 medium leeks thinly sliced

1 tbsp olive oil

0.33 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

Pinch of salt

Freshly cracked pepper

Fresh thyme or chopped parsley

Lemon zest

Extra Parmesan or feta for topping


Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix chicken with olive oil, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Let marinate for at least 15 minutes.

2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Dry leek slices completely, toss in olive oil, and spread on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Top with Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Bake for 10–15 minutes until golden and crisp. Set aside.

3. Heat a skillet over medium-high. Add oil, sear chicken in batches 3–4 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and cover.

4. Reduce heat. In the same pan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add heavy cream and simmer for 3–4 minutes.

5. Stir in feta, Parmesan, Dijon mustard, and cream cheese. Whisk until smooth. Add truffle oil gradually, then salt and pepper to taste.

6. Return chicken and juices to the pan. Simmer 2–3 minutes to combine and heat through.

7. Plate chicken with sauce. Top with crispy leeks. Garnish with herbs and lemon zest. Serve immediately.

Notes

Make extra sauce if you plan to serve over pasta — it’s rich and incredibly versatile.

Use a mandoline for perfectly thin leeks — this ensures even crisping.

Add spinach or mushrooms to the sauce for an earthy, veggie-loaded twist.
