If there is a vegetable that is associated with this time of year it is the leek but because it deserves more than to finish crushed in traditional soup we will make it more playful and visually attractive.
With the holidays coming, this dish can be offered as an appetizer or even as a main dish if you do enough and want to avoid your guests unbuttoning their pants before dessert is even served.
The complementarity of leeks and chicken is already acknowledged, but you can also keep in mind the spices used for other recipes using these two elements.
