This is a really delicious chicken ala king that is fooproof and can be easily expanded for as many guests you have. This is for 4 or 5 people. Enjoy it. 

What you need

60g butter

60g flour

1 onion finely chopped

large handful of mushrooms quartered

1 red pepper chopped

3 chicken breasts cubed

pinch of nutmeg

salt and pepper to taste

350ml milk

125ml cream

The process

Poach the chicken breasts in a little salted water until cooked through and chop into 2cm cubes.

In a pot on a medium heat melt the butter and cook the onions, mushrooms and red pepper until the onions are translucent.

Add a pinch on nutmeg and season with salt and pepper. Then add the flour and cook, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes.

Begin adding the milk stirring all the time until you have a nice smooth texture in the sauce. 

Add the cream and stir until the mixture is hot (not boiling). Add the chicken pieces, reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes stirring occasionally.

Taste and season with salt and pepper if necessary.

Done! serve with boiled white rice.

    Thanks for stooping in. I can’t imagine it would be the same without the cream, its rich and creamy and delicious… You could probably use a tin of cream of mushroom soup or something similar.. Let us know if you give it a try without G
