Recipe Introduction


A good make-ahead meal, since the flavor improves with a little time.





List of Ingredients



• 3 - 4 tbsp. butter (or roast chicken drippings is even better!)
  
• 1/2 onion, diced
  
• 1/2 green pepper, diced
  
• 4 oz. fresh mushrooms, sliced
  
• 1 small jar pimentos, drained
  
• 1/4 cup flour
  
• 1 can evaporated milk (not the sweetened condensed kind)
  
• 1 healthy "glug" dry sherry (mebbe 2-3 tbsp?)
  
• 1½ tsp. chicken bouillon granules
  
• salt to taste (easy on the salt, since the bouillon is salty)
  
• black pepper to taste
  
• red pepper to taste (not cayenne)
  
• 1½ - 2 cups diced cooked chicken
  






Instructions



1. Sauté onion, pepper & mushrooms in butter/drippings for a coupla minutes. Add pimentoes.
   
   
2. Blend flour into the canned milk until smooth; add to sautéed vegetables; add sherry, bouillon & seasonings, cook & stir until it begins to thicken.
   
3. Add chicken & warm to serving temperature.
   
4. Serve over rice or toast. (we had it with our usual combo of brown & wild rice & it was delicious)
   






Final Comments


You could avoid making the sauce from scratch - just delete the flour & milk and use a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup instead. But I use it so much that half the stuff we eat tastes like mushroom soup! Mebbe that's why this was such a nice change, and the red pepper really perked it up!
