Mike Olley gave his wild mushroom dish a citrus twist on Come Dine With Me Birmingham

1. Cut the chicken into long strips about the thickness of your thumb and put in a bowl. Pour over the lime juice and toss well together. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 10 minutes and up to three hours.

2. Heat a large non-stick frying pan or wok and when very hot, add the oil and season with a pinch of salt and plenty of coarsely ground black pepper. Stir fry the chicken, shallots, and mushrooms for 3 minutes until the chicken is white all over, adding the garlic for the last minute of cooking time.

3. Pour over the stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat slightly and simmer for 7-8 minutes or until the stock is well reduced and the chicken is tender and cooked through. Stir in the nutmeg and double cream and continue simmering for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste.

4. Serve with freshly cooked rice tossed with spring onions and boiled carrot batons and green beans.
