In the same dutch oven, add carrots and onions and cook down for 10-15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Add garlic and cook for 2 minutes.

Add brandy, bacon, chicken, chicken stock, thyme and bring to a slow simmer.

While the chicken is cooking, add 1 tablespoon of butter to a saucepan and sauté the mushrooms. Add to the dutch oven.
