Cut the chicken into chunks, about 2cm in size, then fry them in a large pan with the spices until they begin to brown. Once cooked, the chicken can be placed in a large oven dish, if only one suitable pan is availiable. Alternatively, this step can be carried out similtanously with the next if two pans may be used. |

Slice the leeks and bacon, and fry the leeks with butter in a pan. After a couple minutes, add the bacon, and spices, and continue to fry for around eight minutes, or until the leek is soft and brown, and the bacon is cooked. |

Add the flour to the frying leeks and bacon, and stir in well. Then add the alcohol, and finally slowly stir in the cream. Allow to cook for a further three minutes, stirring all the time, and adding the cheese. |
White wine and honey can be used instead of sherry. |
