Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Heat the oil in a large deep frying pan or shallow casserole dish over a medium heat. Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper then add to the pan skin-side down and cook for 10 minutes until the skin is golden and crisp. Flip and cook for 4 more minutes, then transfer to a plate.
Step 2
Melt the butter in the pan and add the leeks. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until softened and starting to caramelise. Then add the garlic and thyme and cook for a minute more until fragrant.
Step 3
Pour in the beans with their bean stock, fill the jar ⅓ the way with water (if cooking for 4 people) and pour this in too, stir to combine. Stir in the truffle pesto and mustard. Nestle in the chicken thighs skin-side up to keep the skins crisp. Reduce the heat to low-medium and leave to simmer for 8-10 minutes.
Step 4
If serving with greens, chop off the woody ends of the broccoli and steam over a pot of boiling water for 5 minutes. If serving with charred lemon, cut the lemon in half then lightly brush the cut-sides with oil. Place them, cut-side down on a hot pan for a few minutes until bubbling and charred. Squeeze over the chicken, leeks and beans before serving.
