Creamy Albanian Chicken and Leek Fërgesë
Savor the rich flavors of Albania with this comforting Fërgesë, featuring succulent chicken and tender leeks baked in a luscious, tangy yogurt and cheese sauce. It's a hearty and satisfying dish, perfect for a fulfilling lunch or a cozy dinner.
Let's cook.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes, until lightly browned on all sides. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Add sliced leeks to the same skillet and cook over medium-low heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent. Season with salt and black pepper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, crumbled feta cheese, and all-purpose flour until smooth.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the leeks. Pour the yogurt mixture over the chicken and leeks, stirring gently to combine.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and lightly golden on top.
