Preparation
Step 1
* Alternate Mushrooms: Chanterelle
If using dried morels, simmer them in the cream until soft, about 15 minutes. Do not allow to boil. Reserve the cream.
Flour the chicken breasts lightly. Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and the oil in a sauté pan or skillet, and sauté the chicken quickly, about 3 minutes on each side, then remove to a heated pan. Deglaze the pan with brandy. Pour this over the chicken breasts. Place them in a preheated 250 degree oven while you prepare the sauce.
Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter in the same pan. Add the morels and cook until they become semi-dry. Add the beef broth and cream and let it cook down into a sauce. Add the peppercorns, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
Place the chicken breasts on a warm platter and cover with the sauce just before serving.
