Heat the butter in an ovenproof dish with a lid over medium heat. Add the leak and cook for two minutes, until the leak is softened but not browned. 

Add the chicken and cook, stirring for 3 minutes or until golden. Add the rice and stir so that it is well coated with butter.  Cook for 1 minute.

Add the stock in 3 tablespoons of water and bring to a boil. Cover and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking time. 

Remove from the oven and stir the Parmesan in, season with salt and pepper.
