For the filling
20ml extra virgin olive oil
10g salted butter
½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp paprika
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp mustard powder
500g skinless chicken breast fillet
300g mushrooms, cut into 1cm slices
1 small onion, diced
1 leek, white part only, cut into 8mm slices
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp chopped thyme
300ml chicken stock
3 tsp cornflour mixed to a paste with 30ml cold water
125ml pouring cream, whisked together with 1 egg yolk
3 tsp lemon juice
sea salt, to taste
Preheat the oven to 200C fan-forced (220C conventional). Heat the oil and butter in an 18 x 28cm
flameproof baking dish, 5cm deep, for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the salt, paprika, thyme and mustard powder in a small bowl, then rub all over
the chicken breast. Add the chicken to the hot dish and bake for 5 minutes, then turn and bake for 5
minutes more, or until just cooked through. Remove from the oven, cut the chicken into 1cm pieces
and set aside to cool.
Add the mushrooms, onion, leek, garlic and chopped thyme to the dish and stir to coat with the
chicken juices. Heat over medium heat and saute until the onion is soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in the
chicken stock and bring to the boil. Thicken with the cornflour paste, boiling for 1 minute more.
Remove from the heat and stir in the cream mixture and the lemon juice, then add the chicken
pieces. Add sea salt, to taste, and set aside to cool.
