Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
• 1 Tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 3½ ounces (100 g) sliced white mushrooms
• 3½ ounces (100 g) chopped pimentos or other mild chili peppers
• 3 Tablespoons (45 g) butter
• 2 Tablespoons (20 g) all-purpose flour
• Salt to taste
• Pepper to taste
• 1 cup (240 ml) milk

Procedure

1. Sauté the chicken cubes, onion, mushrooms, and pimentos in the olive oil in a skillet.
2. Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a small bowl or cup.
3. In a saucepan, melt the butter, stir in the flour mixture, and cook over medium heat for about a minute.
4. Add the milk and stir till thickened.
5. Add the chicken and vegetable mixture to the sauce; stir together and cook a few more minutes.
6. Serve over biscuits or toast.

Notes, tips, and variations

• You can add 1–2 cloves of finely diced garlic to the chicken and vegetable mixture; add it last, when the chicken is almost done, because garlic burns quickly.
• You can add ½ teaspoon chicken bouillon powder to the flour instead of the salt and pepper.
• You can serve over toasted English muffins, rice, or pasta instead of biscuits or toast.
