  3. In a pan, add the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add the chicken breasts and reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. In a separate pan, melt 25g of the butter and add the sliced leeks. On a low heat, fry for 2 minutes, then add the garlic and cook a further 1 minute. Tip into a bowl and put aside.
  5. Remove the chicken breasts from the stock pan and put on a plate. Pour 200ml of stock into a jug and put to one side.
