Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

8 T Sweet butter
2 T 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 T 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.
