Recipe Introduction
To make it even easier, I usually cook a whole chicken in my crock pot,
then add water and some chicken bouillon to get the right amount of
chicken stock.
List of Ingredients
* 5 cups cubed cooked chicken
* 4 ounces (1 stick) butter
* 8 tablespoons flour
* 4 cups chicken stock
* 1 teaspoon onion powder
* 1 teaspoon black pepper
* 1 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon rosemary -- crushed
* 1/2 teaspoon thyme
* 1/2 teaspoon sage
* 1 medium pinch saffron (opt)
Recipe
In a large saucepan melt butter over medium heat until bubbling but
not browning. Whisk in flour and cook for 5 minutes, stirring
continuously. Slowly stir in chicken stock until well blended. Add spices and
cook until mixture thickens, stirring constantly. Stir in chicken. Ladle
mixture into freezer bags and seal. Freeze.
