I have made this for years (its been a while since i last made it though, hence finding the recipe as a refresher). Always started out by making it per the recipe, however as time went on i tweaked it a little. instead of leaving the leeks as they are, i take the leftover cooking liquid and some of the leeks, and thinken it up slightly in a pot to make a sauce. Serve the chicken along with simple steamed veg.

I did cut the recipe in half for just the 2 of us, but other than that, I followed it right on down, & we had a very nice tasting chicken dinner! I actually had it in the oven for a little more than 40 minutes, but that was no problem at all! Can't remember the last time I used mascarpone cheese in anything, but we definitely enjoyed in in this recipe! Thanks for posting it! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
