This recipe is another hit in my household! It’s pretty simple to make and it tastes DELICIOUS! This one comes from my Best Lost Suppers cookbook!
Ingredients:
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- salt and pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 onion, minced
- 2 carrots, peeled and chopped fine
- 1 red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded, and chopped fine
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon thyme
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/4 cup drained jarred pimientos, chopped fine
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
- 8 slices Italian bread, toasted
- paprika
#1. Heat the oil in a big pot (or Dutch oven) over medium-high heat until it’s just smoking. Cook the chicken until its golden brown on both sides, about five minutes, flipping halfway through. Move the chicken to a plate. 
#2. Melt the butter in the pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, bell pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt and cook. Stir it occasionally. I usually wait until the onions have started to turn a little golden, and the carrots are slightly soft. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the broth, cream, thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. 
#3. Put the chicken back in the pot, along with any juices that have accumulated on the plate. Bring it to a simmer, cover, and cook it until the chicken is cooked thoroughly. I typically leave it in there for 25-30 minutes just to be safe! 
#4. Take the chicken breasts out of the pot and shred them into bite-sized pieces. I just throw them in the blender and hit “pulse” a few times and its good to go! Put the shredded chicken back into the pot. Stir 1/4 cup of the warm sauce from the pot, and the egg yolks together in a bowl. Stir the egg yolk mixture, pimientos, lemon juice, and parsley into the pot and season with salt and pepper. 
#5. I toast some italian bread, and pour the mixture over the top of the bread, sprinkle it with paprika and cheese and chow down! It’s so yummy!
