Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts, with skin
- 200g mushrooms
- 1 garlic clove, crushed

What’s the perfect wine match?
Our friends at Majestic Wine recommend Krasno Sauvignon Blanc Ribolla. Venture outside the well loved New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc to Slovenia for this elegant, green apple filled wine. Its touch of herbs brings out the fresh tarragon beautifully.

Just cooked this and the sauce is absolutely the best!
Yum yum yum!!!
Hi Janette, you can freeze this recipe. Just don’t add the cream at the end. When you want to use it, defrost thoroughly and reheat until piping hot and then add the cream.
Hi Selina, Yes, there is a splash of double cream added at the end of the recipe though this is optional.
