- In a large frying pan, melt half of the butter and fry the leek for 5 minutes or until soft. Distribute in a baking dish.
- In the same pan, fry the chicken in the rest of the butter for 10–12 minutes until golden. Season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken on top of the leeks in the same baking dish.
- In a saucepan, combine sour cream and wine. Bring to a boil and let simmer for a few minutes over medium heat until the sauce thickens slightly. Grate or crumble the cheese and stir into the sauce. Let it melt while stirring continuously. Season with salt and pepper.
