2 chicken breasts chopped into large pieces

1 bottle of draught

1 tbsp chopped thyme

1/2 leek finely sliced

1 tsp sugar

2 tbsp butter

6 pitted dates

1 cup mushrooms sliced

1 tbsp cornflour

1 bay leaf

salt and pepper

Fry the chicken in 1 1/2 tbsp of the butter until golden in a heavy based pot. Remove from the pan and add remaining butter. Add leek and sprinkle with salt and sugar, fry until transparent. Add the beer, bring to the boil and return chicken to the pan, add the mushrooms, thyme, bay leaf and prunes. Simmer and then add the cornflour mixed with a small amount of cold water and stir until mixture thickens. Cover and simmer on low heat for an hour. Season to taste with salt and cracked black pepper.
