- 1 carrot, peeled and finely chopped
- 250g chestnut mushrooms, sliced

Step by step
Get ahead
Reheats well, keep chilled for up to 3 days
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large heavy-based casserole pan on a medium high heat. Season the chicken and fry in 2 batches, stirring frequently until light golden (about 6-8 minutes).
- Scoop out onto a plate, reduce the heat to low and add another ½ tablespoon of oil if you need to. Add the onion, celery and carrot, season and fry for 6-8 minutes until soft but not coloured.
- Add the mushrooms and fry for another 5 minutes until tender and the liquid has evaporated. Sprinkle in the flour; mix well.
- Pour in the wine and bubble for a few minutes, scraping the pan to deglaze. Once the wine has reduced by two-thirds, add the stock and the chicken. Simmer for 10-15 minutes until it’s cooked through and the sauce is a little thicker.
- Stir in the crème fraîche and bubble for 5 minutes until the sauce coats the meat nicely. Stir in the parsley and serve with mash, pasta or rice.
