Method
Place the pieces of chicken into a large, non-stick pan, and then cover in wine and stock.
Then, add the celery, onion, leek, thyme, bay leaves, half of the tarragon and crisp lardons.
Bring to the boil, then simmer for 1 hour.
For the rice, heat the oil, and then add the onion, bay leaves, lemon and mushrooms.
