Ingredients
- Red Wine: 150ml red wine
- Chicken Breast: 4 skinless chicken breasts
- Olive Oil: 1 tbsp mild olive oil, vegetable oil
- Thyme: few thyme sprigs, leaves only
- Chicken Stock: 150ml chicken stock (use 1/2 a cube)
- Plain Flour: 1 tbsp plain flour, seasoned
- Chestnut Mushroom: 250g pack chestnut mushroom, halved
Directions
- Toss the chicken in the flour, then tap off the excess. Mix 1 tsp of the excess flour with a little stock and set aside. Heat the oil in a frying pan, then add the chicken, mushrooms and thyme. Cook over a medium-high heat for about 5 mins, turning the chicken breasts over once until golden.
- Lift the chicken out, then set aside. Pour in the wine and the remaining stock and boil for 5 mins or until reduced by half. Add the flour and stock mix, stirring until the sauce thickens a little. Put the chicken back into the pan, along with any juices from the plate, then simmer for 5 mins or until cooked through and the sauce is glossy. Serve with mash.
