Directions:Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dredge lightly in flour.
In a 12-inch heavy iron skillet, heat two tbsp butter and a little oil until the butter starts to brown. Add the chicken breasts and sauté over high heat until nicely browned on both sides. Add a little stock. Lower the heat and simmer the breasts for 6 minutes, adding a little chicken stock if necessary. When done, remove the chicken breasts from the skillet. Add the cream and lemon juice and cook to reduce by half. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and keep warm while you sauté the mushrooms.
In a small skillet, heat the remaining butter. Add the mushrooms and sauté until lightly browned. Season with salt and pepper. Add the mushrooms and peas to the chicken breasts. Bring the sauté almost to a boil and whisk in bits of beurre manie, just enough to thicken the sauce slightly. Taste and correct the seasoning. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with fresh parsley or dill. Serve immediately. |
