    154g pack Cooks’ Ingredients Diced Pancetta
    1 leek, thickly sliced

Cover with a lid and bake for 45 minutes or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and no pink meat remains. Stir in the cream and serve with green beans.

    To freeze ahead, allow the casserole to cool completely. Transfer to a freezerproof container and freeze. To reheat, thoroughly defrost and transfer to a casserole dish, cover and cook in a preheated oven at 200°C, gas mark 6 for 35 minutes, giving it a good stir halfway through.
