Steps:
- Tip the carrot, celery and garlic into a large saucepan.

- Combine chicken stock, water, yellow onion, celery, carrots, tomato paste, salt, peppercorns, and bay leaf in a large pot; bring to a gentle simmer. Decrease heat to medium-low and simmer, checking the flavor occasionally, until vegetables are slightly tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
- Bring stock to a boil and add chicken, pouring in more water if chicken isn't completely covered in liquid. Bring poaching liquid to a boil; remove pot from heat and cover tightly with a lid until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Rub the chicken breasts with drops of lemon juice and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Heat the butter in a heavy, oven-proof casserole, about 10 inches in diameter until it is foaming. Stir in the minced shallots or green onion and saute a moment without browning. Then stir in the mushrooms and saute lightly for a minute or two without browning. Sprinkle with salt.
- Quickly roll the chicken in the butter mixture and lay a piece of buttered wax paper over them, cover casserole and place in hot oven. After 6 minutes, press top of chicken with your finger. If still soft, return to oven for a moment or two. When the meat is springy to the touch it is done.
- Remove the chicken to a warm platter (leave mushrooms in the pot) and cover while making the sauce (2 to 3 minutes).
- To make sauce, pour the stock and wine in the casserole with the cooking butter and mushrooms. Boil down quickly over high heat until liquid is syrupy. Stir in the cream and boil down again over high heat until cream has thickened slightly. Off heat, taste for seasoning, and add drops of lemon juice to taste. Pour the sauce over the chicken, sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken breast: Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Use a large pot: You need a pot that is large enough to hold the chicken breasts in a single layer. If the pot is too small, the chicken will not cook evenly.
- Bring the water to a simmer, not a boil: Boiling the chicken will make it tough. You want the water to be just barely simmering so that the chicken cooks gently and evenly.
- Cover the pot: Covering the pot will help the chicken cook more evenly and prevent the water from evaporating too quickly.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check the temperature with a meat thermometer.
- Let the chicken rest before serving: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving so that the juices can redistribute throughout the meat.
