Start by cleaning leeks and slicing them. Leeks can be a pain to clean, so much dirt... What I do is slice them and then soak them in a bowl of water. Stir them around and let them sit. Drain them and repeat this a number of times. You will see little bits of dirt in the bottom of the bowl after each cleaning. I am sure there are other way to clean leeks but this works for me.
Cut the Chicken breast into thin cutlets. Dredge them in flour. Heat oil and a knob of butter in a skillet and add leeks. Saute until tender. Add the bacon. Cook until crisp. Place cutlets in pan and saute until cooked through about 4 min. per side. I cover the pan and let the chicken cook for about 3 - 4 minutes.
For dessert my neighbor Kim brought over some No Bake Cheesecake for me to try. It is very light and I could have eaten more but... Here is her recipe -
No Bake Cheesecake... to die for! 10 oz. cream cheese 1/2 cup powder sugar 1 tsp vanilla 1/2 tsp lemon juice 1 cup heavy cream pre-baked pie crust of your choice (Kim made a shortbread crust) Stir first 4 ingredients until creamed. Lightly whip heavy cream until thick. Fold cream with other ingredients, put in shell and chill for up to 3 hours or over night...DIG IN!!!
