Chicken Roasted with Grapes and Leeks
People who know me well, know my obsession for groceries. I absolutely dislike shopping for clothes, but put me in a good grocery store ,I’ll spend my entire day there. Reading the labels, Googling recipes standing with the product in hand, that’s my thing. So when we travel , I ensure to bring back products that aren’t available in India. And when in London the two main places I go to are Sainsbury’s and Waitrose.
One among the many things I love about Waitrose is their recipe cards. They have different recipe cards for the month and you can take them for free! The recipes are available on their website too. So I tried this recipe from one of their cards and it turned out real good! This is the first time i was cooking chicken with grapes,wasn’t too sure of that combination,but it turned to be surprisingly good!
