Melt the butter in a frying pan, lay out the fillet, previously cut into oblong, medium-sized pieces. Stirring, fry the chicken over high heat for 2-3 minutes. The fillet pieces should turn white on all sides.
Next, sprinkle the chicken with lemon juice and add the champignons, chopped into thin slices. We continue to fry the contents of the pan over high heat, making sure to stir vigorously.
Once all the moisture has evaporated, sprinkle the mixture of mushrooms and chicken with salt, ground pepper and flour. For flavor, add nutmeg or other spices at your discretion. Mix vigorously.
Next, pour in half the cream. Add chicken broth or plain water so that the ingredients are almost completely covered with liquid. Reduce the temperature to a minimum, tightly cover the pan with a lid and simmer the chicken together with the mushrooms for about 10-12 minutes.
Combine the remaining portion of cream with the egg yolk and mix until smooth.
Pour the prepared dressing into the almost finished fricassee. Bring the snow-white sauce to a boil and continue to simmer the chicken and mushrooms over low heat under the lid for another 3-5 minutes. At the end, take a sample and add salt/pepper as needed.
Serve chicken fricassee with mushrooms accompanied by a side dish. In this case, it is best to boil the rice and complement the dish with herbs and vegetables.
