2 teaspoons butter

1 cup heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

In a large skillet, heat butter until slightly browned. Add chicken and brown lightly, 30 seconds on each side. Place chicken and drippings in a casserole and cover. Bake in a 400-degree oven for 6 to 8 minutes until chicken feels springy when touched. Do not overcook. Remove chicken to a hot serving dish, cover and keep warm while making sauce.
For sauce, Saut� mushrooms in butter. Add broth and Madeira to pan juices from chicken. Simmer until reduced by half. Add cream and simmer until slightly thickened. Add salt, pepper, lemon juice and mushrooms. Heat thoroughly.
