1 Cup Bacon or Pancetta (diced)
***1 Leek (cleaned and finely sliced)
3 Bay Leaves
10 oz. Oyster Mushrooms (torn)
1 Bottle Riesling Wine
Salt/Pepper

Add the leeks and cook for 1 minute
Add chicken, bay leaves, mushrooms and wine
Season with salt/pepper
Bring to a boil

***Leeks tend to be very sandy inside

Place leeks in a colander and rinse well before adding to the recipe
