1 sm Onion, cut in half
1 sm Can button mushrooms,drained
1/3 c Butter
1/4 c All purpose flour

Cut chicken into pieces. Place chicken in a deep
saucepan; cover with cold water. Add salt, leek,
celery, carrot, whole clove, bay leaf and onion. Bring
to boil; reduce heat. Simmer 1 to 2 hours, depending
on size and tenderness of chicken. When joints linking
thigh portions to main body move easily and seem
flexable, chicken will be done. Remove chicken from
cooking liquid; cool slightly. Remove skin and fat;
cut flesh from bones in large pieces. Strain liquid.
Cut mushrooms into thin slices. Sautee in a small
amount of butter in a medium skillet. Melt butter in a
large skillet. Stir in flour. Cook, stirring
constantly, until light golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Add a small amount of hot cooking liquid and season
with salt, nutmeg, Worcestershire sauce, wine and
lemon juice. Place chicken pieces, sauteed mushrooms
and peas in sauce; warm gently over low heat. When all
ingredients are hot, turn off heat. Let stand 3 to 4
minutes. Before serving, blend egg yolk and whipping
cream in a small bowl. Stir egg yolk mixture into
sauce to make it smooth and rich. Serve hot with rice.
