Method

Sauté chicken and diced green bacon in butter and olive oil in a flame-proof casserole until chicken is golden on all sides.

Add pitted green olives, which you have previously soaked in hot water for 15 minutes to remove excess salt, and button mushrooms. Season chicken to taste with a little salt and freshly-ground black pepper. Moisten with cognac. Cover casserole and
