Season the flour and roll the chicken pieces in it. Keep the remaining flour for later.
Melt 2 tabs of butter and oil in a large pan and brown the bacon and onions.
In a separate pan, melt 2 tabs of butter and oil and saute the mushrooms.
When the bacon and onions are nicely browned, add the garlic and cook for a further minute. Add the remaining flour, stir and cook for a minute or so. Add the wine and stir until thickened.
Bring to the boil and add the chicken, the sauteed mushrooms, the bacon and onion mixture, bouquet garni and salt and pepper to taste.
Place into a casserole dish with a lid and cook for 45 mins in the oven at around 200C. Remove the bouquet garni and serve. Particularly nice with Dauphinoise Potatoes and Green Veg. Enjoy!
