Procedure:
1. In a preheated pan, add oil and sauté the mushrooms. About halfway through, add the leek. When browned, season with salt & transfer to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
2. Using the same pan, preheat and add the chicken thigh. Add more oil if needed. Brown on both sides. Once browned, deglaze with white wine, reduce by 50%.
3. Add the mushroom mixture back to the pan, add chicken stock and cook until the chicken is tender.
4. Once tender, transfer chicken from the pan to a sheet pan to cool enough to handle. Once cool enough, chop the chicken into small pieces or shred.
5. While the chicken is cooling, pour the mushroom mixture and liquids over the croutons. Stir well and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rest for 15 minutes.
6. Once the croutons have absorbed all of the liquid, add the chicken & spinach. Mix well.
7. Fold in ricotta until incorporated. Transfer to plastic pastry bag (piping bag) and fill the shells.
8. Spoon some velouté in a baking dish, lay in the stuffed shells. Top with some more velouté. Reserve some for service. Wrap with plastic wrap and foil.
