Chicken & Leek Stroganoff (Jamie Oliver)


Chicken & Leek Stroganoff (Jamie's Food Revolution)

I Heart Cooking Clubs (IHCC) is going on six years of cooking wonderful recipes by awesome chefs! This week, it's this month's potluck week. I choose Jamie's Chicken & Leek Stroganoff from Jamie's Food Revolution. His original recipe requires brown rice, but I substitute it with kamut ditalini, a kind of short tube pasta made from the kamut grain.

Actually, this is the first time I cook Jamie's (Oliver) recipe. Everyone knows this celebrity chef, even if you're not into cooking. His cookbooks can be found easily in major bookstores in Kuala Lumpur. Until today, I still haven't bought any of his cookbooks. I'm not sure why. Haha. 


Recipe adapted from here.

Ingredients:
(Serves 2)

1/2 cup kamut ditalini (cooked, drained, and tossed with extra virgin olive oil)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large leek, cleaned well then halved & sliced thin
2 chicken breast fillets, cut into fingers
1 cup white oyster mushrooms, sliced
1 cup cooking cream
 


How to:

1. Put a large pan on high heat and add olive oil. Add leek with some water. Let it bubble away for 5 minutes, loosely covered. Add chicken, mushrooms, and cooking cream.

2. Stir, bring back to a boil, then turn heat down to medium and simmer for about 10 minutes before turning off the heat.

3. Spoon some pasta onto a plate and serve with stroganoff.

These little tubes are ditalini pasta.

I absolutely love creamy stroganoff!

  1. Hi Joyce,

    I have tried cooking Jamie Oliver's recipes before and I really like his food and of course, I know that this pasta must be really good.

  4. Never had kamut ditalini before, sounds exotic to me 😃 I like some of the recipes by Jamie but have not tried this one. Good choice.

  5. Maybe after this dish, you'll explore Jamie Oliver a bit more ... and maybe invest in one of his cook books! Your stroganoff looks wonderful!

  7. Joyce, when I read that you are cooking one of Jamie's recipes, I know it's very good for sure. It's pretty hard to go wrong with Jamie. True enough, your stroganoff looks so good that I wish it was dinner time again hehe

  8. Jamie always has such great recipes--simple and they taste great too. This stroganoff looks delicious and I like the pairing with the pasta better than with rice. ;-)

  9. That looks good! And I think pasta was a perfect pairing!

    My own favorite of Jamie Oliver's cookbooks (so far! tho I have almost all of them, found thrifty-ly) is his 30-Minute Meals (called something different from his USA publishers, maybe Meals in Minutes). I find it rather miraculous! I'm really enjoying his Save with Jamie too though....

  10. I love his recipes, too, but like you, don 't have any of this cookbooks. I really need to remedy that. Especially after seeing this dish. YUM!
