Method

  1. Cut the chicken into small pieces and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Slice the onions and sauté them in a pot with half the butter and the finely chopped bacon until golden.
  3. Add the chicken pieces and brown them as well.
  4. Add the peeled and crushed garlic, the celery, the finely chopped ají cachucha, and the bay leaf, and cover everything with the wine.
  5. Stir well and let simmer 10 minutes over low heat.
  6. Meanwhile, cut the mushrooms into pieces and sauté them in a skillet with the other half of the butter. When they are golden, add them to the chicken pot.
  7. Remove some of the chicken broth into a container and dilute the flour in it so that no lumps form. Then reincorporate it into the pot.
  8. Let simmer for between 25 and 30 minutes, stirring from time to time, until the chicken is tender.
  9. Serve it very hot, on individual plates. Enjoy your meal!
