1 hour

Ingredients

  • 1 free-range chicken, butterflied
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Olive oil, for moistening and greasing
  • 500 g brown mushrooms
  • 2 - 3 cloves garlic, crushed
  • A few sprigs rosemary
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup red wine

Method

Preheat the oven to 220°C.

Season the chicken and moisten with olive oil.

Place the mushrooms and chicken in a greased roasting pan. Season, then add the garlic and rosemary. Roast for 40 minutes, then pour over the stock and wine. Roast for a further 15 minutes, or until the chicken is golden.

Spoon the mushroom gravy over the chicken. Garnish with watercress.
