Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 cups Cooked chicken, diced
- 1 large Green bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons Dry sherry (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Paprika (for garnish)
- 4 servings Cooked rice, noodles, or toast (for serving)
Instructions
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Whisk in the flour, stirring constantly, to create a smooth roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste, but do not let it brown.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps, and cook until the mixture begins to thicken.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.
Add the diced chicken, green bell pepper, mushrooms, and peas to the skillet. Stir well to coat everything evenly in the sauce.
If using, pour in the dry sherry for added depth of flavor, and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Season with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Sprinkle the paprika on top for a touch of color and garnish.
Serve hot over cooked rice, noodles, or toasted bread. Enjoy!
