Method

1. In a large saucepan or deep-sided frying pan, add olive oil followed by onion and cook till soft. Throw in the bay leaf and garlic and cook for 30 secs. Then, add cider and turn heat up a little and let it bubble. Pour in stock and let it bubble a little longer.

2. Add mushrooms and simmer gently for 10 mins, so mushrooms poach. Taste and season, if it needs it – it depends on how salty your stock is.

3. Tip in chicken and simmer for a further 10 mins, till chicken is heated through. Stir through parsley when ready to serve. Serve with some country-style brown bread.
