Creamy Chicken in White Wine

  • 1 tbsp veg oil
  • 150g streaky bacon
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 200g mushrooms, chopped
  • Knob of butter
  • A pinch of dried mixed herbs
  • 250ml white wine
  • 250ml single cream
  • Cooked new potatoes and green beans, to serve
  • Pop a big pot on a high heat, and add the oil. Pan fry the bacon, sliced, for a few minutes until crisp. Remove from the pan, and set aside for later. Meanwhile, cut the chicken into bite-sized strips, and put into the pot - along with a good grind of pepper - to sizzle for a few minutes and brown all over. Remove and set aside with the bacon
  • Reduce the heat on the pan, and add the knob of butter. When it starts to foam, chuck in the onion, and cook for 3-4 minutes to soften. Add the mushrooms, along with plenty of salt and pepper, and the garlic. Fry for a few minutes before stirring in the herbs.
  • Pour in the wine, and bring up to the boil. Return the chicken and bacon to the pan, and cook for a few minutes, then add the cream, and simmer for 10 minutes. Serve piping hot with new potatoes and green beans.
