Method

Marinate chicken breasts with shallots, garlic, herbs, and wine for 1 hour, then preheat oven to 160°C.

Strain the chicken using a colander, reserving the shallots and herbs, and dry the meat with kitchen paper.

Fry chicken in oil and 50g butter in a casserole dish until browned, then remove.

Boil the wine marinade to reduce by a third, then whisk in a smooth mixture of flour and 150ml water.

Fry bacon until browned, then add reserved shallots and cook until softened.

Add wine sauce, tomato purée, sugar, herbs, and seasonings, then return chicken and bake covered for 25 minutes.

Fry mushrooms in remaining butter for 10 minutes and add to the casserole before removing herbs and serving.
