Method
Marinate the chicken with Salt and Pepper. Heat oil in a pan. Add the marinated Chicken and sear on a high flame it to a golden brown colour on both sides. Take it out of the pan, keep it aside.
In the same pan, melt butter. Add garlic and thyme, saute it for a few seconds. Add the chopped carrot onions and leeks and cook till they shrink.
Add the mushrooms, saute till it cooks completely.
Add the maida, mix it till it turns like roux and cook it till the raw flavour is gone. Add water, mix it till the roux dissolves and bring it to a boil. Cook it till the liquid thickens. Season the sauce. Add the chicken and let it cook in the sauce for 5 minutes.
Add fresh cream to the sauce. Cook it for another minute. Turn off the flame, transfer the dish to a bowl, garnish it with chopped parsley and fresh cream. Serve it hot with Herbed rice or bread.
