Recipe 2 - Chicken Escalopes with Taleggio & Leek Gratin
These are the ingredients needed to make thisFor 2 people1 x Leek1 x Lemon2 x cloves of garlic2 x potatoesTaleggio cheeseParsleyI will start off and say I have slightly amended the recipe as Ben & I were both poorly last week and didn't end up cooking this on the day we were suppose to, so after preparing everything we realised the chicken was out of date, and of course there weren't any escalopes in the shops so we had to go for second best and buy them already breaded..if you are looking to do this part of the recipe, click here for the original recipe!
Now, onto the recipe...
1.Firstly cut the leek lengthways and chop finely! 
2.Grate the zest of one lemon 
3.Add the leek to a 4cm deep oven proof dish
4.Chop up the Taleggio cheese into cubes (be warned, this is a rather strong smelling cheese!) Haha.
5. Season the leeks with salt and pepper, then squeeze in the juice of half a lemon and mix together6.Add the cheese and sprinkle the lemon zest evenly over7.Put on the middle oven shelf & place your chicken escalopes on a baking tray on the top shelf
8.Boil the kettle (will use in step 10)9.Whilst that's all cooking, peel and chop up your potatoes (3cm pieces should be fine)10.Peel the garlic and add to the saucepan with potatoes - Pour in the boiling water until potatoes are covered. Cook over medium-high heat for 10-15 minutes or until tender
12.Once potatoes are cooked, drain with colander and return to saucepan, add a splash of milk and some butter, mash it all together until no lumps remain13.Sprinkle with parsley14.And serve!!Here is our finished product!
