Chicken and Mushrooms in Wine Sauce

½ chicken, boneless
3 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
½ garlic, crushed
8 small mushrooms
6 cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp flour
1 cup red dry wine
½ tsp tarragon
1 cup chicken stock
salt and pepper
1 tbsp parsley, finely chopped

l Remove skin of chicken and slice thinly. Pour the olive oil into a hot frying pan, add the chicken pieces and stir. As the meat changes colour, add the onion and garlic and give it a good stir. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Add cherry tomatoes – halved if big – and mushrooms to the frying pan and stir to mix. Spoon in the flour and stir well to coat all the ingredients. Sprinkle over the tarragon.
l Pour in the wine and stir quickly; let it cook for a few minutes until the juices start to thicken. Then pour in the stock and cook to reduce liquids and thicken the sauce. Before taking off the heat, sprinkle over with parsley and serve on a bed of mash potato.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
