This is another recipe I have no idea where I got it from. I have made this since my kids were young and they are in their 40s. Dang that makes me feel old just to say that. What I do know it is an recipe from England. Usually I made it when we had company coming, instead of Stroganoff. I have used pecans instead of walnuts at times..but there is nothing better then an English Walnuts to make this with.

Take them out and set them with the shallots. Add a little more butter and add the Chicken strips, brown sightly, and cook until done. Remove the chicken and set with the shallots and leeks. Add the brandy, nutmeg, salt and pepper cream and reduce to 1 1/4 cups. Then add the chicken, leeks, shallots and nuts. Heat all ingredients together and serve with rice or noodles.
