• 1⁄2 lb  cold roast chicken breast
• 1⁄4 lb white button mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 2  ounces butter
• 5  fluid ounces reduced-sodium chicken broth
•  salt

• 4 -5  sprigs tarragon, chopped
• 3  tablespoons  double cream
• 8  slices  freshly made  bread, cut in triangles and fried

Directions

1. Cut the chicken into tiny slices approximately 1 inch square.
2. Soften the mushrooms gently in the butter until they are limp.
3. Add the chicken stock, salt, pepper, lemon juice and chopped tarragon and bring to the boil.
4. Boil until the liquid has reduced by half, then add the cream and cook for 4 minutes.
