Instructions

First, preheat the butter in a pot over medium heat. Then sauté the onion until it turns translucent.
Next, add the flour to the pot and stir everything. Slowly pour the chicken broth and heavy cream into the pot while continuously stirring until the flour dissolves and the sauce starts to simmer.
Now add the chicken breast and bay leaf. Cover the pot and let everything simmer for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, add the carrots, mushrooms, and peas. Stir everything and cover the pot. Let the chicken fricassee simmer for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, take out the chicken breasts and cut them into bite-sized pieces. Then add them back to the pot.
Now take out the bay leaf, thin the sauce with water if needed, add the lemon juice, and season the chicken fricassee with salt and pepper.

Notes

When you add the vegetables, the sauce should be a little thicker. The vegetables' water thins the sauce and makes it perfect by the end of the cooking time. If you need to thin the sauce more, add some water or chicken broth.
