5. Add the parsley stems, chives, thyme, bay leaves, celery and leeks. Season with salt and pepper.
6. Add the boiling water (see quantities in the ingredients), lower the heat and cook in a covered pan for about 20 minutes until the chicken and vegetables are tender.

APPETIZER OR DESSERT (optional):

If you have chosen to prepare an appetizer or dessert, take advantage of the chicken’s cooking time to prepare it.
