Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C.
Mix together the soft cheese and the cornflour, and season. Slowly add in the stock, stirring until smooth.
Arrange the chicken breasts in a large baking dish and scatter the leeks around and them.
Pour over the soft cheese sauce and cover the dish with foil.
Bake for 40-45 mins, taking the foil off after 20mins, until golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. 1. Meanwhile, put the rice into a saucepan and pour over 350ml boiling water from the kettle. Bring to the boil, cover with a lid and cook over a low heat for 15-18 mins, swirling the pan occasionally, until cooked. Set aside with the lid on to keep warm.
Divide the rice between 4 plates. Put a piece of chicken onto each plate (dividing the breasts if necessary) and spoon over some creamy leeks. Serve with some salad alongside.
