Nana’s Chicken a La King
Poultry
Nana
Ingredients
- ½ cup salted butter
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 2 egg yolks
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 4 cups cooked chicken, chopped
Method
In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add in mushrooms and cook until mushrooms are soft, about 5 minutes.
Add in flour and stir until there are no more specks of flour left.
Pour in chicken broth and milk and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and simmer until sauce is thickened, about 3 minutes.
Stir in frozen peas, and cooked chicken and let heat through, 2 to 3 minutes.
Serve hot over puff pastry shells.
For a richer sauce: in a small mixing bowl, whisk together egg yolks with heavy cream. Working quickly, slowly pour in ½ cup of the hot mixture into the egg mixture while whisking vigorously. Immediately pour this mixture back into the saucepan, whisking the entire time. Cook 2 minutes more.
