Trim and slice the leek into 2cm half-moons. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Quarter the radishes. Heat a large saucepan with 1 tbsp oil on medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 2-3 mins, turning occasionally, until golden.
Add the leeks and garlic to the chicken. Cook for 2-3 mins. Drain the beans, (don't rinse), then add to the pan along with 450ml hot water (225ml for 1 person). Crumble in half the stock cube and stir. Bring to a boil then simmer for 3-5 mins, until the chicken is cooked. Add the spinach and stir through.
Check your chicken is cooked through by inserting a skewer into the thickest part of the meat; the juices should run clear. Cook for longer if necessary. Once cooked, stir half through the pesto through the broth and the radishes. Season to taste with sea salt and black pepper.
Serve the brothy chicken and beans into warm bowls. Dollop over the remaining chives.
