Method

  1. Preheat the oven. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove and place in a casserole dish or baking tray.
  2. Add more oil to the pan, if necessary, and fry the bacon for 5-6 minutes, or until crispy. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until soft. Add the mushrooms and potatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes. Pour in the wine and simmer until it is absorbed. Stir in the cream, thyme and bay leaf and bring to the boil. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Pour the creamy mushroom mixture into the casserole dish and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked and the vegetables are tender.
  4. Cook the peas according to the packet instructions so that they are ready around the same time as the casserole.
  5. Serve the chicken and mushroom casserole with the peas.
