Cut up a chicken and stew gently for ten minutes in a little water. Add two ounces of butter, salt, pepper, mace and a green pepper, chopped very fine, stew until done.

Make a form of boiled rice around a dish and lay the chicken in the middle of it. Add to the sauce a good piece of butter with a teaspoonful of flour rubbed into it and boil two minutes. Take from the fire and stir in the yolk of three eggs, beaten with a half cup of rich cream. Pour over the chicken and serve.

Chicken with Spaghetti

Prepare the spaghetti by boiling about three pounds in salted water for twenty minutes.

Stew a chicken in water until tender and pick it to pieces, adding enough of the gravy to make a quart. Into this put four sliced onions that have been fried in two ounces of butter, and one quart of tomatoes.

Stew for fifteen minutes.

Place a layer of spaghetti on a platter and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, pour over some of the chicken sauce and repeat the layers, putting the best of the chicken on top.
