Creamed Chicken with Veggies
This is my favorite go to meal when I don't have much time to prepare dinner. I usually plan ahead and cook a few extra chicken breasts during a previous dinner; I then dice and freeze them to have on hand. I usually make the biscuits from scratch but if I'm really in a pinch I will use store bought refrigerated biscuits and bake them while the cooking.
Cook time 20 minutes
Ingredients
3 Tbls Butter
3 Tbls Flour
1 cup Milk
1-1/4 cup Chicken Stock
1 tsp Fiesta Seasoning
1 tsp onion powder
1/8 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1-1/2 cup cooked diced or shredded chicken; about 2 chicken breast
½ cup of mixed frozen veggies
- Melt the butter; add the flour whisk over medium low heat until well blended. Cook until bubbling and frothy.
- Add milk and chicken broth stirring until smooth and thickened. Stirring occasionally as to not to scorch the bottom of the pan. I tend to let this come to a slow boil or simmer before the next step.
- Stir in seasoning. Add Chicken and veggies and cook until heated through. Bring back to simmer or slow boil.
- Serve over biscuits
