Ingredients

4 skinless chicken breasts

1 tbsp plain flour, seasoned

150ml chicken stock (use ½ a cube)

250g pack chestnut mushroom, halved

few thyme sprigs, leaves only

150ml red wine

1 tbsp mild olive oil or vegetable oil

Method

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.
