Creamed chicken aka chicken a la king

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 tablespoons Schmaltz or vegetable oil
2 tablespoons Flour
2 cups Chicken broth; (I use the parve boullion)
2 cups Cooked chicken diced
3 Hard boiled eggs diced
Frozen/canned vegetables

Directions

Melt oil and stir in flour making paste. Add broth slowly stirring well.

Heat until mixture becomes thick, add chicken, eggs and vegetables (I usually take a handful of whatever frozen veggies I have on hand - usually corn, lima beans, peas, broccoli, string beans, mushrooms*, etc.). Cook, covered, on a low heat until all ingredients are heated. I season to taste with a little salt, and if I feel exotic, I put in some tarragon.

This goes well over rice or noodles and freezes well.

*I buy a lot of my produce from a truck near my office. They sell in set quantities only and I am frequently taking home 2 pounds of mushrooms when I won't be needing that many. If I can't use them up in a short time and they start to look yucky, I wash them, slice them and throw them into a zip-lock bag. This goes into the freezer and whenever I need mushrooms for a recipe, I just grab the amount I need and keep the rest in the freezer.
