Instructions
- Place the chicken in a large pan and cover with water or stock. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Add the prunes and about one third of the leeks. Season well, cover and simmer for a further 30 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the pan and put to one side to cool. Add the remaining leeks and boil gently for about 30 minutes to reduce the liquid slightly.
- Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, separate the meat from the skin and bones. Shred the meat into bit-sized pieces.
- Add the chicken meat to the pan and continue to cook for a further 5 minutes to warm the chicken through.
