Preparation
- Step 1
In a small saucepan, bring ¾ cup broth to a boil. Stir in the raisins and remove from heat. Allow raisins to sit in liquid while preparing the rest of the recipe.
- Step 2
In a 12-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for 2 minutes. Add white and light green pieces of scallions, placing them toward the center of the pan. Turn chicken and cook for 5 minutes.
- Step 3
Stir in the raisins, their soaking liquid and remaining chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Turn chicken and simmer for 5 more minutes. Turn chicken again and stir in cream, rhubarb and salt. Turn heat to low.
- Step 4
In a small bowl, dissolve cornstarch in ¼ cup water. Bring the cooking liquid in the pan back to a boil, then stir about 1 cup of it into the cornstarch mixture. Stir this back into the pan with the chicken. Return to a simmer and cook until the starch flavor is cooked out and the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Stir in the rest of the scallions. Serve over medium egg noodles.

So disappointing. Dull as ditch water. Did something get left out of the ingredients? Thank goodness I made a half recipe. Still a puzzle to rescue the leftovers.
Tasty. I cut in half. Instead of raisins, I boiled chopped cauliflower. Instead of heavy cream I used flax milk w oil. Also used arrowroot instead of cornstarch. A little pepper and garlic powder and this was really nice on a bed of egg noodles. Scallions and rhubarb popped on the light backbone but not too much
A really nice meal. We thought, though, that the sauce might have been thicker. Might try a bit more corn starch next time? Used boneless legs and thighs. I'm not so sure some red pepper flakes wouldn't have hurt, either.
