In a large measuring cup combine the half and half and heavy cream. Stir to combine.
In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the mushrooms and bell pepper in butter until tender. Add ¼ cup of dry sherry and cook until the sherry reduces by half. Add 2 cups of the cream mixture and stir. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, until the sauce thickens. Add the chicken and bring to a boil for 1 to 2 minutes (or if using raw chicken, until cooked through).
Combine the remaining ½ cup of the cream mixture with egg yolks. Stir until well blended. Add this mixture to the skillet along with the pimientos and salt.
Just before serving, add the remaining ¼ cup of sherry and stir. Serve over buttered toast.
