Does anyone have a recipe for Chicken Aristocrat?

My family and I used to eat this dish at a favorite hole in the wall resturant back in Texas but can't find it here in Colorado. Can any one help?Does anyone have a recipe for Chicken Aristocrat?
this one?....





Braised Whole Leeks





8 medium-size leeks


1 to 2 tbsp butter


1/3 cup (or more) amontillado sherry


1 cup (approx.) chicken stock, preferably homemade


Freshly ground pepper





Trim off and discard dark green tops and tough outer leaves from leeks. Cut a thin slice


from the root end. Slit down one side of each leek, about halfway through, to within 1


inch of base. Place under cold running water, fanning out leaves, to remove grit. Drain


thoroughly.


In saut茅 pan just large enough to hold leeks in one layer, melt butter over medium-high


heat. Add leeks and cook, turning often, until leeks start to brown in a few spots, about 6


to 8 minutes.


Pour in sherry, turn heat to high, and continue cooking for about 1 minute longer. Then


pour in chicken stock (use enough chicken stock so liquid comes a little over halfway up


sides of leeks) and bring to boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered, until leeks are tender,


about 10 to 20 minutes. (Check frequently and turn leeks from time to time. The braising


time varies with the diameter and age of the leeks.) If a lot of liquid remains in pan,


remove cover and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until sauce is slightly thickened and syrupy.


Season with freshly ground pepper to taste.


Arrange leeks on an oval or rectangular serving plate, spoon some of the pan liquid on


top and sprinkle with a little more coarsely ground pepper.
