Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- In a large bowl, add the spices, season with salt and pepper and mix. Pour the mixture over the chicken breasts and drizzle with olive oil. Mix well to coat the breasts.
- Place the breasts on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake for about 25 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Cut in dice and reserve.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the garlic and leek followed by a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Add the carrots and cook for 7 to 8 minutes to soften.
- Add mushrooms, edamame beans, a drizzle of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring. Keep warm.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and mix to form a roux. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring.
- Add chicken broth, milk, nutmeg and season with salt and pepper. Mix with a whisk to dilute the roux. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes to thicken the sauce.
- Add vegetables, chicken and bacon then mix. Remove from heat.
- Spread the croissants and smother with chicken sauce. Garnish with cheese and serve immediately!
