- Heat a nonstick pan with some oil. Brown the chicken things on both sides until firm and golden. Take out of pan.
- To the same pan, add the mashed garlic. Once it browns, add the onion. Sautee till translucent.
- Add the leeks. Sautee till limp and fragrant.
- Then add the chicken and sautee for about 2 minutes.
- Add the cream. Mix well until it coats everything. Sprinkle the saffron, the tarragon and the chili flakes on top. Mix well.
- Simmer on low heat until the gravy thickens slightly. Add salt to taste. Serve warm.
