Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large oven proof skillet, heat 1 teaspoon oil over medium heat. Add the leeks, and cook 4 minutes. Add 2 teaspoons each rosemary and thyme; cook 1 minute more. Season with 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Transfer to a medium bowl, let cool.
  2. Carve a pocket in the center of each chicken breast by inserting the tip of a knife into the thickest part and cutting an opening (leaving about 1 inch uncut on each side), being careful not to cut all the way through the breast. Place 2 tbsp. leek mixture in each pocket. Heat 1 tsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts, and saute until golden, about 3 minutes on each side. Remove from heat, and transfer to clean work surface.
  3. Place bread in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade and process until fine crumbs form. Transfer crumbs to a bowl. Add remaining tsp. rosemary and 1 tsp. thyme. Season with remaining 3/4 tsp. salt and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Spread 1 tsp. mustard over one side of each chicken breast, and cover with about 3 tbsp. herbed bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Drizzle the remaining tsp. oil over all.
  4. Place skillet in the oven; roast the chicken until it is golden and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven; transfer the chicken to serving dish and cover with foil while you make the sauce. Place skillet over medium heat, and add the chicken stock; deglaze pan, stirring to loosen any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Continue cooking until stock is reduced by half, abut 3 minutes. Remove from heat; add remaining tsp. thyme. Serve with chicken.
