Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

8 tb Sweet butter
2 tb Chopped scallions
1/2 lb Button mushrooms, whole
-or quartered large ones
-wiped, stems removed
Salt
Freshly ground white
-pepper
6 Prepared chicken breasts
-with skin removed,
-slightly flattened
1/2 c Concentrated chicken
-stock*
1 ds Lemon juice
1 c Heavy cream
1 Beurre Manie*
2 tb Finely chopped chives

* Beurre Manie is used to thicken sauces. These butter-flour balls
can be made ahead in advance and stored in a sealed jar in the
refrigerator for 1 or 2 weeks. Combine 1 T flour and 1 T sweet butter
on a small flat plate and blend the mixture with a fork into a very
smooth paste. Roll the paste into a ball. In a small skillet, heat 2
T of butter. Add the scallions and cook for 2 or 3 minutes without
browning. Add the mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper and cook the
mixture over high heat for 2 or 3 more minutes to brown the mushrooms
lightly. Reserve. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and
sprinkle them with lemon juice. In a large chicken fryer, melt the
remaining butter. When it is quite hot, add the chicken breasts and
cook them for 1 minute on each side. Cover the pan with buttered wax
paper and then the pan lid. Lower the heat and simmer the chicken
breasts for another 8 to 10 minutes or until the juices run out pale
yellow when pierced with a fork. Do not overcook or pierce every
piece. Immediately remove the chicken breasts to a serving platter.
Pour the chicken stock into the fryer, raise the heat and reduce the
stock until it is almost a glaze. Add the heavy cream and continue
cooking over high heat. Add the Beurre Manie and cook until the
sauce heavily coats a spoon. Add the chives and correct the
seasoning. Add the mushroom scallion mixture. Add the chives and
correct the seasoning. Pour the sauce over the chicken breasts and
serve at once. From "Season Kitchen" by Perla Meyers. * DeLuxe2 1.25
