Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken diced
  • 1 cup mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup green bell pepper diced
  • 1 cup onion diced
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 cups cooked rice or egg noodles
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
  2. Stir in the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
  3. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add the cooked chicken and frozen peas to the skillet. Stir to combine and heat through, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Serve the chicken mixture over cooked rice or egg noodles. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
