Heat the olive oil in a casserole dish and
brown the chicken for 5-10 minutes on medium-
high heat.
Add the onion, shallot, carrots and garlic and
sprinkle with flour and cornflour.
Mix well, then pour over the brandy. Set alight
over a high heat, rotating the pan in all
directions.
Once the flames diminish, add the red wine, water,
passata, thyme, parsley, bay leaf, salt and
pepper.
Cover and simmer for about 1 hour.
While the chicken is cooking, fry the bacon in
a hot pan until browned. Then drain and place
on kitchen paper. Add to the chicken after 1
hour of cooking along with the mushrooms.
Simmer for another 30 minutes uncovered.
Adjust the seasoning and remove the bay leaf
before serving.
