  9. Whilst the chicken is cooking prepare and cook your seasonal vegetables. I used asparagus and parsnip straw but you can choose whatever you fancy.

  10. With around 5 minutes to go before the chicken is ready, make the sauce by, first, melting some butter in a small pan and frying off the wild mushrooms. Once the mushrooms are cooked add the brandy and flambe the pan. Reduce the brandy by half and then add the cream and heat through.
