Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 cups cooked and shredded chicken

Butter

  • 4 tablespoons butter

Flour

  • 1/3 cup flour

Chicken Broth

  • 2 cups chicken broth

Milk or Cream

  • 1 cup milk or cream

Vegetables

  • 1 cup peas
  • 1 cup bell peppers, chopped
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced

Seasonings

  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start with cooked chicken, which can be shredded or diced. You can use leftover rotisserie chicken or poach chicken breasts for a fresh batch.
  2. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add your chopped vegetables. Sauté until they are tender and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Make the Sauce: Sprinkle flour over the cooked vegetables, stirring to coat. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, followed by the milk or cream, until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy.
  4. Combine and Simmer: Add the shredded chicken to the sauce, along with seasonings to taste. Let it simmer for another 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables will enhance the flavor and texture of your dish significantly.
  • Don’t Rush the Sauce: Allow the sauce to simmer long enough to develop those rich, comforting flavors.
  • Adjust Thickness: If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more chicken broth or milk to reach your desired consistency.
  • Experiment with Proteins: Feel free to use turkey or even seafood in place of chicken for a delightful twist.
  • Season to Taste: Always taste your dish before serving and adjust the seasoning as needed for maximum flavor.
