Chicken, Leeks and Mushroom Casserole

Another freestyle day today, now only using three main ingredients, chicken, leeks and mushroom. As simple as it gets but it definitely is a sure-fire winner. Armed with my single stalk leek and celery, plus some leftover mushroom all I need is a nice sauce to bring this to life, initially I was thinking of using some cream of mushroom but I want to use that on another dish so I just made my sauce with some chicken stock, white wine and a hint of cream, then enhancing that by browning my meat and dissolving those toasted bits on my sauce. The result was Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!
