  • Halve and peel the onion, then cut each half into 3 wedges. 
  • Peel the garlic.
  • Halve the mushrooms.
  • Place your hand flat on top of the chicken and slice through horizontally to make two thin steaks.
  • Place a large, oven-proof pot with a lid over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.

TIP: If you don't have an oven-proof pot, use a large pot and transfer stew to an oven dish before placing in oven.
