1/4 pint dry white wine |
1/4 pint chicken stock |
1 bouquet garni |

Directions:
1. Melt the butter in a deep pan and fry the chicken pieces until brown all over 5 minutes.
2. Remove from the pan and drain.
3. Add the onions and bacon to the pan and fry till the onion is just soft.
4. Add the flour and cook out for 2 minutes Add the mushrooms, wine, stock, and bouquet garni, bring to the boil to make the sauce, season with salt and pepper.
