- Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat and cook the leek, carrots and chicken thighs for 5 minutes.
- Add the rice and chicken stock to the pan. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the mushrooms and Dijon mustard, cover and cook for 15 minutes until the rice is tender and all of the stock has been absorbed. Cut into a thick portion of chicken and check that it is cooked through, with no pink showing and the juices run clear.
