Ingredients
- 1 CHICKEN BREAST cooked and cubed
- 1/2 cup BUTTER
- 1 cup MUSHROOMS sliced
- 1 GREEN BELL PEPPER diced
- 1/4 cup ALL PURPOSE FLOUR
- 2 cups WHOLE MILK
- 1/2 cup HEAVY CREAM
- 1 cup CHICKEN BROTH
- 1/2 cup FROZEN PEAS
- 2 oz PIMENTOS drained
Instructions
Step 1:
-
Place your large skillet on the stove. Turn the heat to medium. Add the butter to the pan. Let the butter melt until it bubbles.
Step 2:
-
Add the chopped peppers and mushrooms. Stir them into the melted butter. Cook them for five minutes. They should be soft and fragrant.
Step 3:
-
Sprinkle the flour over the cooked vegetables. Stir constantly for two minutes. This removes the raw flour taste. It creates a thick paste called roux.
Step 4:
-
Slowly pour in the milk and broth. Keep stirring to avoid any lumps. Turn the heat up slightly. Let the sauce simmer and thicken.
Step 5:
-
Stir in the heavy cream carefully. Add the cooked chicken and frozen peas. Mix everything together very well. Let it heat through for five minutes.
Step 6:
-
Season the dish with salt and pepper. Add the jar of drained pimentos last. Stir gently so they do not break. Serve the meal over warm biscuits.
Notes
- Use a rotisserie chicken to save lots of time.
- Do not boil the sauce too hard or it breaks.
- Add a splash of sherry for a deeper flavor profile.
- Make sure to drain the pimentos before adding them in.
- You can use turkey instead of chicken during the holidays.
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces for easy eating.
- Sauté the mushrooms until they are golden brown for taste.
- Use fresh parsley as a garnish to look professional.
