My cousin made this Chicken and Leek Stroganoff when I was around for dinner years ago. I can’t even remember how old I was; I must have been pretty young. Regardless, it’s delicious, and it’s so quick and easy! So if you’re looking for a chicken dish that won’t dry out your chicken but that you also don’t have to cook for hours, this is for you!
