It's a takeout favorite the world over, but it's quicker and fresher made at home, on the table in about half an hour, and endlessly adaptable to whatever vegetables you have on hand.

A masterpiece of resourcefulness, originally designed to make the most of what the land provided: chicken and leeks.  When these humble ingredients simmer together slowly, they create a broth that is savory, sweet, and incredibly restorative.

They go into the oven on a bed of onions and roast until the skin crackles and the meat is tender and pull-apart juicy.
