Yesterday's rainy weather in Doha, was the kind that makes you want to stay in bed with hot chocolate and a chick flick. Accepting that we were trapped at home for the night, my friend and I decided to use this as an opportunity to make dinner for her family with whom I was staying. We decided to make chicken ala king: chicken and vegetables in béchamel. I learned how to make Chicken ala king using a betty crocker recipe years ago...I love this recipe!
Ingredients:
- Cooked cut-up chicken
- 1/2 cup of margarine
- 1 green pepper
- 1 can of sliced mushrooms (drain the mushrooms and keep the mushroom liquid on the side)
- 1 onion
- 1/2 cup of flour
- 1 1/2 cup of milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 carrot
- Drained pimientos
- salt & pepper
Preparing the chicken:
- Cook in olive oil, minced onions.
- Flavor with lemon, salt, and pepper
Preparing the rest of the dish:
- Heat 1/2 cup of margarine in a saucepan
- Fry sliced onions, green pepper, and mushroom for about 2 minutes.
- Add the flour stirring constantly until bubbly.
- Add milk, chicken broth, and mushroom liquid
- Add cooked chicken, pimientos and sliced carrot
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Heat the sauce to boiling.
Serve with rice and enjoy :):)
