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)
Directions
Step 1
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps, and cook until the mixture begins to thicken.
Step 4
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
Add the diced chicken, green bell pepper, mushrooms, and peas to the skillet. Stir well to coat everything evenly in the sauce.
Step 6
If using, pour in the dry sherry for added depth of flavor, and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 7
Season with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Step 8
Sprinkle the paprika on top for a touch of color and garnish.
Step 9
Serve hot over cooked rice, noodles, or toasted bread. Enjoy!
