Yield: Serves 4 to 6
Ingredients:
- 1 to 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 tablespoons olive oil

- 6 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup cooked peas

Preparation:
Wash chicken and pat dry; cut into small cubes.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter with the olive oil. Add the chicken and onions and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. Add the sliced mushrooms and parsley and continue cooking, stirring, for about 5 minutes, or until mushrooms are golden brown and onions are softened.
