Certainly.
First melt a little butter in saucepan
Add finely chopped mushrooms of choice - I usually use a mixture of buttons, shiitake and oyster - and saute until brown.
Add finely chopped onion and a clove or two of garlic if liked.
Add a little of the stock from cooking the chicken - or any other stock you prefer - cook for 2 - 3 mins.
Slowly add 2 tablespoons of flour, and a little more stock.
Whisk thoroughly and simmer for about 15 mins
Add a glass of red wine.
To thicken - combine a tablespoon of cornflour with a tablespoon of cold water - slowly add this to the gravy - whisking all the time.
Cook for a couple of minutes - and it is ready.
If you want it really smooth - you can put it through a blender - but I quite like it as it comes!
