Ingredients

  • 1½ tbsp olive oil
  • 1 x 640g pack skinless chicken thigh fillets, sliced into thick strips
  • 1 large onion, finely chopped
  • 1 celery stick, finely chopped
  • 1 carrot, peeled and finely chopped
  • 250g chestnut mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 250ml white wine
  • 250ml chicken stock
  • 200g full-fat crème fraîche
  • ½ x 30g pack flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

Step by step

Get ahead
Reheats well, keep chilled for up to 3 days
  1. 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).
  2. 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.
  3. Add the mushrooms and fry for another 5 minutes until tender and the liquid has evaporated. Sprinkle in the flour; mix well.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
