Servings: persons

2 cups chicken pieces, boiled, de-boned, and cubed
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons scallions, diced (the white part)
1 cup water chestnut, sliced
2 teaspoons fresh gingerroot, cut into slivers
2 cups sour cream
½ cup chicken stock (home-cooked when possible)
1 teaspoon table salt (or less)
1 teaspoon lemon juice (bottle-type is okay)
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon scallion top, diced (garnish)

1
Heat the butter in a large, heavy pot until it foams, then add the white scallions and cook until tender.
2
Don't let them brown!
3
Remove the pot from the heat and add the water chestnuts, ginger, sour cream, stock, salt, lemon juice, and pepper.
4
Stir.
5
Return the pot to medium heat and bring to a boil.
6
Once it boils, add in the diced, pre-cooked chicken.
7
Stir this carefully as to not break up the chicken -- you just need to heat the chicken through and then it's done.
8
Serve with either clumpy (short-grained) rice or egg noodles and garnish the dish with the diced scallion tops.
