Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 4 Chicken Breasts - skin removed, cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 tbsp All-Purpose Flour (Plain Flour)
  • 1 small Onion - finely diced
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper - cut into strips
  • 10 oz Mushrooms - sliced
  • ½ cup White Wine
  • 1 cup Chicken Stock
  • ½ cup Heavy Cream (Double Cream)
  • Sea Salt and Black Pepper

Optional Garnish

  • 1 tbsp Chopped Parsley

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil over a medium high heat in a large pan or Dutch oven.
  • Season the chicken pieces with sea salt and pepper then sear in the olive oil, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and golden brown, around 5 minutes.
  • Remove the chicken from the pan and reserve on a plate, then sprinkle the chicken with 1 tbsp flour.
  • In the same pan cook the finely diced onions on a medium low heat until starting to soften, around 5 minutes.
  • Add the bell pepper strips and sliced mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and sauté until starting to soften, another 3 minutes.
  • Add the white wine and bring to a boil for a minute or two, allowing the alcohol to burn off.
  • Scrape up all the bits from the bottom of the pan with your spatula or spoon to make sure all the flavor is incorporated into the sauce. .
  • Add the chicken stock and allow the sauce to simmer for a few more minutes.
  • Add the chicken back to the pot - the flour will help to thicken the sauce. Let simmer for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Finally stir in the cream.
  • Serve with chopped parsley, if using
