It's been ages since I posted a recipe, so I'll post what I made tonight. One of my favorites, Chicken A La King. I used leftover turkey because that is what I had. I also used frozen yellow sweet peppers. Yellow, red and orange peppers come on sale late in the Fall. Other times of the year they are very expensive. It's worth it to buy extra peppers, chop them or cut them into strips and freeze in your freezer for stir fry or recipes. So, that is why I had yellow ones this time around.
Chicken (or Turkey) A La King
1/2 stick butter or margarine (1/4 cup)
1/3 cup flour
1/4 tsp. pepper (we like LOTS)
1/8 tsp salt
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup milk*
1 cup of chopped fresh or frozen sweet peppers
1 can or 4 oz. mushrooms
1 1/2 to 2 cups cooked, diced chicken or turkey
Melt butter. Add flour, pepper and salt and stir well. Allow to cook for 1 minute on med. heat. SLOWLY add chicken broth while mixing. Once all broth is incorporated, then slowly add milk while mixing. Add peppers, mushrooms and chicken. Stir, cover and cook on med-low heat. Stir occasionally. Cook until thoroughly heated and mixture is thick.
* I use 2% milk. This recipe works with 1% but not very well with skim without adding more fat.
