Ingredients
 

  • 6 Chicken breasts skinned and boned
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 Tbs Lemon juice
  • 6 Tbs Butter
  • 8 oz Pâté de foie gras cut into 6 slices

for the sauce

  • 1 Medium onion thinly sliced
  • 1 Medium carrot thinly sliced
  • 2 oz Lean cooked ham finely chopped
  • 2 Tbs Chopped parsley
  • 10 floz Beef stock
  • 2 floz Madeira
  • 1 Tbs Beurre manie

Instructions

  • Rub the breasts with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
  • Melt the butter in a large, deep frying-pan. Add the breasts and fry for 7 to 10 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through and tender. Transfer the breasts to a warmed serving dish and keep hot while you make the sauce.

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the beurre manie, a little at a time, until the sauce thickens and is smooth.
  • Top each chicken breast with a slice of P¢t© and pour half the sauce over the top. Pour the remaining sauce into a warmed sauceboat and serve with the meat.
