Steps:
- Tip the leeks and oil into a flameproof casserole dish on a low heat, add the butter and cook everything very gently for 10 mins or until the leeks are soft.
- Put the chicken, skin-side down, in a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat, cook until the skin browns, then turn and brown the other side. You shouldn't need any oil but if the skin starts to stick, add a little. Add the chicken to the leeks, leaving behind any fat in the pan.
- Add the stock to the dish and bring to a simmer, season well, cover and cook for 30 mins on low. Stir in the mustard, crème fraîche and peas and bring to a simmer. You should have quite a bit of sauce.
- When you're ready to serve, put the grill on. Mix the breadcrumbs and parsley, sprinkle them over the chicken and grill until browned.

Roast for 10-15 mins more, or until the chicken is cooked through. To freeze, leave to cool completely and transfer to large freezerproof bags.
- Scatter the lemon zest over the chicken and serve with crusty bread to mop up the juices.

- Add the butter and when it’s melted, sprinkle over the flour and stir to coat and cook slightly. Add the orange/naartjie juice and deglaze the pan. Scrape any browned bits that may have got stuck on the bottom. Then add the milk, cream, honey and stock and bring it to a bubble. Add the chicken pieces back in (with any juices) and cook for 25 – 30 minutes with the lid on, on the lowest setting. Stir occassionally to ensure the sauce doesnt catch at the bottom of the pan. Or you could pop it in the oven @ 180C / 350F for 40 minutes
- While the chicken is cooking make your rice to serve. You will need around 1 – 1.5 cups of rice for 4 people.
