Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

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

* 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.
