- Thinly slice leek.
- Cut potato, parsnip and carrot into small chunks.
- Roughly chop dill.
- Slice lemon into wedges.
- Place your hand flat on top of each chicken breast and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks.
- Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil and the butter.
- Cook leek, stirring, until softened, 4-5 minutes.
- Add the water, chicken, potato, carrot, parsnip, garlic & herb seasoning and vegetable stock pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until softened and the chicken is cooked through, 10-14 minutes.
- Using tongs, remove the chicken from the saucepan and transfer to a chopping board. Shred the chicken using two forks (or slice if you prefer).
Return chicken back into the saucepan. Stir in light cooking cream and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste.
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it is no longer pink inside.
