Ingredients:
  • 6 Australian Chicken Thigh Fillets, coarsely chopped
  • 200g brown mushrooms, halved
  • 1 brown onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 small fennel, trimmed reserving fronds, thinly sliced
  • 40.00 ml plain flour
  • 23.40 gm Dijon mustard
  • 500ml chicken stock
  • 20g pkt dried mixed forest mushrooms
  • 1 lemon, zested, juiced
  • 62.50 ml coarsely chopped tarragon

  • 1 1/2 sheets frozen puff pastry
  • 1 Free Range Egg, lightly whisked

Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, heat half of the oil. Brown chicken in 2 batches, turning for about 5 minutes, until golden all over. Place chicken in a bowl.

Lower the heat to medium-low and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens. Take the pan off the heat and mix in the lemon zest, lemon juice, tarragon, and sour cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Divide the mixture evenly into four 1 1/4-cup (310ml) ovenproof dishes. Allow it to cool briefly before serving.
