[@ChefJackOvens]

You can’t go wrong

[@annhans3535]

I took a cooking class years ago. This is one of the first things I learned how to cook. My husband and kids loves this chicken especially when they are feeling under the weather. Makes for a cozy winter dinner and so much better than regular chicken soup. Thanks for sharing and reminding me to cook this soon.

[@ruthallen1159]

That looks so yummy! We have leeks in our garden, as well as tarragon in the herb garden. I’m making this for the weekend. Can’t wait!

[@spitspotmichael]

Hi Jack. I like this recipe - a lot. I have chicken thighs and leeks in the fridge, and I'm just going to the supermarket (on my bike) to get the rest of the ingredients. This is ideal for a windy autumn day in the UK. Great video as usual mate, well done.

[@Sambell3936]

Another absolutely awesome recipe 💎👏👏👏. Flavours must be…fresh tarragon, nothing like it. I always keep dried tarragon leaves because you can’t always find fresh ones…no double cream or coconut cream added here which makes a change though you could but cheaper, more flavoursome and lighter this way. I absolutely love this recipe and will be making it this week. Thanks for the recipe.

[@iboswell]

Suggestion - not everyone likes mash done so smooth although it seems like most "chefs" are obsessed with it. Many people seem to like it slightly chunky etc. I make heaps of varieties e.g. with garlic, spring onion, bacon etc. It's a texture thing.

[@ChefJackOvens]

That’s why I said you don’t have to do that 🙏 I love spring onion through mash 👌👌 or crispy garlic

[@iboswell]

@@ChefJackOvens Crunchy bacon bits work well too, along with some hard cheeses. Thanks for the reply though, when we go out to restaurants in Aus, it seems like mash is mainly served as puree. SUCH a waste of such a great vegetable. Best mash I ever had was in Greensboro, NC (USA) and stated as chunky garlic mash. It was superb but I do accept they have many more varieties of potatoes than we have here.

[@reemasaha7224]

Looks so yumm..any alternative to verjuice?

[@jgraef919]

Your mashed potatoes look so good.😋 The entire recipe looks so good Beautiful meal, Jack. I must try those potatoes but I need to buy a ricer first.🙄

[@lindylou7853]

Nice recipe. Re the mash, why do you use unsalted butter and then add salt? (Is it because you have no control of the amount of salt that’s added to the butter?)

[@ChefJackOvens]

That’s exactly right. Plus I use a better quality salt than which the butter would have so better flavour

[@lardosian]

Great favour combinations! Might be an idea to remove the chicken skin after frying and crisp it up in the oven, then lay on top for presentation and some crispness!

[@cookingwithmelisa]

It was great, my dear friend and colleague good luck dear 💖💖💖💖

[@lordjet1596]

If you want to speed up the sieving process for mash or soups etc, simply use the back of a ladle to push through the sieve. Trust me, it will change your game, and you won't believe how fast it is.

[@ChefJackOvens]

You know what! I really need to try this! Cheers for that

[@lordjet1596]

@@ChefJackOvens Honestly, you won't believe how easy it is. I'm an ok cook, I started about twenty years ago trying Gordon recipes. I have no major talent, but don't poison people. I remember trying his broccoli soup, and the horror of passing through a sieve. Over the years, I've sieved and get bored over the time, so tend to go 'rustic' for even a blended soup - that's my excuse. But a few months ago, somebody brought up using the back of a ladle instead of a spoon. I now sieve all my soups and mashes, simply as it takes not time. You'll honestly be amazed. Do let me know.

Hi Jack ..my husband will love this recipe, I don’t like mushrooms so unfortunately it’s not one for me unless you can recommend a replacement ..your mash potato does look yummy xxx

[@froggystyle642]

Dunno if this helps, but if it's the texture of mushrooms you dislike, like me, you could add mushroom powder (or buy dried mushrooms, blitz them into a powder and add that). Just adjust the amount of liquid as it might thicken the stew a bit

[@Ali-Bea]

Why don’t you just leave the mushrooms out Joanne? 😂 I make this with peas if it helps.

G'day jack, With the leeks you can hold the white end with one hand and cut away from you to form a spear shape with the leek. This way you get all the usable white part and none of the bitter dark green part of the leek.

Any reason not to do this in a slow cooker? If okay can you suggest how long ( I hate chicken overcooked)
