Simple chicken leek and carrot casserole

[Jimmy]

I created this from a random selection of items.

Wife got 6 chicken thighs, quite cheap.
I had a leek from the garden.
A 20x30 cm dish 5cm deep.

Create a bed with the chopped leek and 2 carrots diced.
3 chopped cloves of garlic.
Lay thighs on top.
A dash of olive oil on each thigh with salt and pepper.

Into oven 180C 45 mins.

Chicken lovely with crispy skin.

Popped veg into a pan with some additional chicken stock plus a small handful of pearl barley.
Top up with water a simmer for 50mins.

The resulting soup is unbelievably tasty!

Yes and the veg get all the chicken juices.
The part I like is simplicity 4 ingredients thighs, a leek , carrots garlic.
Still got to bowls of soup in the fridge.

I tried it with a supermarket bought leek.
It didn't have any of the green leaves.
Soup was nice but nothing like it was with the green bits.
