Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 600g chicken thigh fillets, trimmed, thinly sliced
- 4 rashers shortcut bacon, sliced
- 1 medium leek, trimmed, halved, washed, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 teaspoons fresh rosemary leaves
- 1/4 cup dry white wine

- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 2 teaspoons cornflour
- 1/2 cup Massel chicken style liquid stock
- 3/4 cup light thickened cooking cream

Method
- Step 1Preheat oven to 220C/200C fan-forced. Heat oil in a large, deep frying pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until browned. Add bacon, leek, garlic and rosemary. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until leek has softened. Add wine. Bring to the boil.
