Chicken on Creamy Polenta and Steamed Leek Vegetables

Who doesn't know it? You only use the white and light green parts of the leek, the green ends often end up in the organic waste. At most in a broth. In this recipe, we mainly use the green parts. The leeks are steamed with some white whine until nice and soft. Together with the creamy polenta and the tender chicken, it's a great combination and thus a perfect dinner.
