Chicken with Leeks

I like cooking with wine because it is a good excuse to drink it while preparing dinner. Here's a very quick and easy meal:

1 leek, discard tough green part and slice the rest into 1/4 inch pieces and separate them
1ish lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast tenders
salt and pepper
2 T. olive oil
1 c. dry white wine

Heat large skillet over med-high heat. Season chicken with s/p generously. Add oil and chicken and brown (3-4 minutes per side) Transfer to plate. Add a bit more oil and add leeks. Saute 5 minutes until soft. Add wine and nest chicken in pan. Reduce heat and simmer 5-7 minutes more. Serve with a potato dish or just crusty bread.
