Chicken and Leek Porridge Recipe

Name: Chicken and Leek Porridge
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 45 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 6 servings
Ingredients: 1 chicken breast; 1 large leek; 1 medium onion; 3 medium garlic gloves; 2 small carrots; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 bay leaf; 1 teaspoon thyme; 1 teaspoon chili pepper flakes; 0.5 cup brown basmati rice; 5 cups chicken stock; 1 cup baby bella mushrooms; 0.5 cup peas; 6 servings salt/pepper

This chicken and leek porridge is a comforting, one-pot meal built on tender chicken, aromatic leeks, and basmati rice simmered in chicken stock. The basmati gives it a slightly looser, more soupy texture than a traditional starchy porridge, but it's still hearty. It comes together in about 45 minutes of active cooking, plus some hands-off simmering time. If you're short on time, a store-bought rotisserie chicken works beautifully here.
