Ingredients
Chicken with Perigord Truffle and a Creamy Mushroom Sauce
Directions
Method
Heat a splash of oil in a high sided frying pan or skillet, and cook the chicken skin side down, until deep golden brown. Turn over and cook for around 5 minutes more, until nicely browned on both sides. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the pancetta and fry until crisp.
Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes or so until browned, then add the garlic and cook for a minute or so, taking care not to burn it.
Add the mushrooms and cook for another 5-10 minutes or so, until they’re starting to turn golden. Give everything a good stir, then add the wine and let it bubble down.
Add the chicken back to the pan skin side up, along with the stock, cream and some salt and pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
Serve with plenty of Perigord truffle grated over the top.
