This dish is inspired by the classic Coq au Vin, combining chicken and smoked bacon, braised in a full-bodied sauce with caramelised shallot, leek and baby chestnut mushrooms. You'll swap the more traditional red wine with Shaoxing wine, to give the dish a lighter feel without losing flavour. Served over parsley mash. C'est délicieux!

Boil a kettle
Peel the potatoes and cut them into large, bite-size pieces
Add the potatoes to a pot of boiled water with a pinch of salt, bring to the boil over a high heat and cook for 10-15 min or until they're fork-tender
Once done, drain and return the cooked potatoes to the pot to steam dry
Meanwhile, cut the chicken thigh fillets into large pieces
Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat
Once hot, add the chicken with a generous pinch of both salt and pepper and cook for 6 min, or until golden, turning once half way
Once done, transfer the golden chicken to a plate and set aside, keeping the pan
Meanwhile, chop the smoked streaky bacon into small, bite-size pieces
Peel and finely slice the garlic
Peel the shallots and cut them into quarters
Wash the leek[s] carefully to remove any grit from between the leaves, then top, tail and slice finely
Return the pan to a medium-high heat
Once hot, add the chopped bacon and cook for 2 min or until it's beginning to crisp
Once crispy, add the quartered shallot and baby chestnut mushrooms and cook for 4 min further, or until everything's beginning to caramelise and brown
Once done, transfer the bacon, shallot and mushroom to a plate, keeping the pan
Return the pan to a medium heat with a large knob of butter
Once melted, add the sliced leek and bay leaf[ves] with a pinch of salt and cook for 3 min or until they're beginning to soften, then add the sliced garlic and cook for a further 1 min
Meanwhile, boil a kettle
Stir 1 tbsp [2 tbsp] flour into the softened leek and cook for 1 min
Add the Shaoxing wine and cook for 30 sec
Add 450ml [900ml] boiled water and return the bacon, shallot and mushroom to the pan
Increase the heat to medium-high and cook for 2 min
Return the browned chicken to the pan and cook for a further 8-10 min or until the sauce has thickened to a gravy-like consistency and the chicken is cooked - this is your stew
Meanwhile, chop the parsley finely, including the stalks (reserve some leaves for garnish!)
Return the drained potatoes to a low heat with a large knob of butter and a splash of milk and mash until smooth
Season with a generous pinch of salt and pepper and stir through the chopped parsley - this is your parsley mash
Serve the chicken, bacon & mushroom stew over the parsley mash
Garnish with the remaining parsley leaves
Enjoy!
