Additional Tips
If you don't care for lemon flavor, substitute 1 Tbs lemon juice with 1 Tbs white wine.
A chicken veloute is a sauce made with a white - or blonde - roux plus chicken stock. Pepare it yourself or get some ready made.
Veloute is easy to make home. If you do, you could incorporate the chives to the veloute.
Substitute 1 cup veloute with 1/2 cream of chicken soup + 1/2 cup water if you don't find it and don't want to prepare your own.
