Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Season the chicken and cook skin-side down in a hot pan for 5 minutes until crisp.
  • Turn the breast over for one minute then transfer to a deep ovenproof dish skin-side up.
  • Add enough chicken stock to reach one third of the chicken's height and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Melt butter in a frying pan and fry the mushrooms for 4 minutes until golden.
  • Add white wine and boil for 3 minutes to reduce the liquid almost completely.
  • Stir in cream, spinach, and tarragon then boil to reduce the volume by one third.
  • Mix the cooked rice with toasted almonds and butter in a bowl.
  • Serve the chicken with a portion of rice and the cream sauce.
