2 minced garlic cloves

1 tablespoon of butter

1 tablespoon of extra virgen olive oil

1 14oz can of chicken broth

In a large pan, on medium-low heat, melt the butter and also add in the olive oil. Once the butter is melted, cook the bacon on medium low for about 5-6 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove the bacon from the pan, and in the same pan and oil, cook the chicken pieces, season them with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the chicken changes in color.

Once the onion is cooked, add in the the White Wine, and cook on medium-high for 2 minutes, just so the alcohol in the wine can evaporate a bit. After 2 minutes or so, add in the chicken broth, and the mushrooms, set the heat to medium, and continue to cook for 15-20 minutes or until the mushrooms are soft and the liquid has evaporated by half.

Taste the flavor, add any salt and pepper if needed, if your dish looks too watery, you can add up to 1½ tablepoons of flour to thicken it up a little bit. (optional)

Add the chicken and the bacon back into the pan and continue to cooked for 3-5 more minutes or until the chicken is completely cooked. Turn off the heat, sprinkle some fresh parsley over the stew, give it a stir, and serve.
