Chicken in White Wine & Cream Sauce in a Yorkshire Pudding
Ingredients (Serves 1-2 people)
Yorkshire Pudding
150g/5oz Plain Flour
1 pinch Baking Powder
1 pinch Salt
3 Free-Range Eggs, beaten
220ml/8fl oz Milk
2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
1 tbsp fresh chopped Parsley, to serve
Chicken and Sauce
1 tbsp Vegetable oil
½ Onion, chopped
2 Garlic cloves, chopped
1 Chicken thigh (bone and skin removed, flesh chopped) or breast, diced.
100g Chopped Mushrooms
100ml/3½fl oz White Wine, Fair-Trade.
150ml/5fl oz Double Cream
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Method
-
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
-
Start by making the Yorkshire pudding batter. Place the flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl and make a well in the middle.
-
Pour the beaten eggs into the middle of the well and mix until well combined.
-
Gradually add the milk and whisk until the mixture forms a smooth batter with the consistency of double cream.
-
Now start on your sauce. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat, add the onion and garlic and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Add the chicken pieces and the mushrooms and fry for a further 3-4 minutes.
-
In the meantime, heat the oil for the Yorkshire pudding over a high heat in the smallest ovenproof frying pan you own. When the oil is smoking, pour in the batter, then transfer the pan to the oven and cook for 5-8 minutes, or until the Yorkshire pudding has risen and is golden-brown.
-
Add the wine to your sauce and simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until the volume of liquid has reduced by roughly half. Add the double cream and continue to simmer for 4-5 more minutes, or until the sauce has thickened. Add the parsley and stir well.
-
To serve, place the Yorkshire pudding into the centre of a serving plate and pour the chicken and cream sauce into it. Garnish with the chopped parsley and serve with mashed potatoes.
