Directions:

Melt half of the butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and cook, stirring, until softened. Add the wine, stock and herb; bring to a boil for a minute or two.

Add the chicken, turn the heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until the meat is barely cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken with a slotted spoon and keep warm.

Turn the heat to high and cook the sauce rapidly, reducing to about 1/3 cup. Add the lemon juice, then stir in the remaining butter a little at a time. Season with the salt and pepper, and add the chicken chunks back in until heated through.

Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
