Fricassee of Chicken With Vegetables

3 chicken breasts, boned and skinned

2 onions, cut in 12 pieces

4 carrots, peeled, diced 1/2 inch

6 mushrooms, cut in half

1 package (4 ounces) frozen baby peas

1 ounce butter

1-1/3 pint cream

Salt and pepper

Cut each chicken breast into 5-6 strips. Melt butter in a shallow pan. Quickly fry chicken in two batches until lightly brown on all sides. Remove to a plate with a slotted spoon.

Fry onions until they also have a little color. Return chicken to the pan; season lightly with salt and pepper. Add mushrooms and cream. Bubble uncovered for 5-6 minutes, stirring from time to time. Mix in the carrots and peas (which should be uncooked); bubble for a further minute to heat through. Scatter chopped parsley. Spoon over cooked rice.
