Season the chicken. Brown it skin-side down first in half the butter until the skin is deeply golden, then turn and colour the other side briefly.

Cook the onions and carrots in the fat for a few minutes until starting to colour. Add the garlic and cook briefly.

Sprinkle over the flour, stir well, then add the tomato puree and let it cook for a minute.
- 5
Pour in the stock and wine, bring to the boil, and scrape up the browned bits from the pan.
- 6
Pour the liquid over the chicken, add the bay leaves and thyme, then simmer with the lid on until the chicken is very tender, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours depending on method.
- 7
Fry the mushrooms in the remaining butter while the stew cooks, then stir them in near the end. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
