375 g smooth ricotta
2 cups sugar snap peas, trimmed

Method
- Slice chicken into 1cm strips. Put flour in a large bowl, add chicken and toss to coat, shaking off excess. Heat oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Fry chicken for 5 minutes, turning, until golden. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Reduce heat to low. Add butter, leek and garlic to the same pan. Cook for 5 minutes, occasionally stirring, until softened. Season well then return chicken to pan. Add wine, then ricotta. Stir to combine. Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes or until mixture has thickened and chicken is cooked.
- Mix in the peas and cook for 5 minutes or until just tender. Stir in the parsley and parmesan. Serve with brown rice.
