Butter Chicken

Recipe Ingredients

3 lbs	1362g / 48oz	Chicken - cut into pieces
		Water - as needed
1		Blade of mace, or a pinch ground mace
1 teaspoon	5ml	Salt
4 tablespoons	60ml	Butter
2 tablespoons	30ml	Chopped parsley
1 tablespoon	15ml	Lemon juice
1		Lemon peel - grated
1 cup	237ml	Broth in which the chicken was cooked
		Freshly-ground white pepper - to taste
1/2 cup	118ml	Heavy cream
1		Lemon - cut very thin slices
		For garnish

Recipe Instructions

Gently poach the chicken in enough water to barely cover the pieces, together with the mace and salt. When done, cool to touch; remove the meat from the bones and cut into bite-size pieces.

Melt the butter, add the chicken pieces, stir and fry for a few minutes. Add parsley, lemon juice, grated peel, and broth. Add some freshly ground, preferably white pepper. Gently simmer for 10 minutes. Add cream and reheat the sauce but do not boil. If desired, the sauce could be further thickened with cornstarch or flour, but it is very good this way.

Garnish your dish with the lemon slices. Serve with boiled potatoes, a mixture of peas and snow peas, and a salad.
