Creamed Chicken with Veggies

This is my favorite go to meal when I don’t have much time to prepare dinner.  I usually plan ahead and cook a few extra chicken breasts during a previous dinner; I then dice and freeze them to have on hand.  I usually make the biscuits from scratch but if I’m really in a pinch I will use store bought refrigerated biscuits and bake them while the cooking. 

Cook time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

3 Tbls Butter

3 Tbls Flour

1 cup Milk

1-1/4 cup Chicken Stock

1 tsp Fiesta Seasoning

1 tsp onion powder

1/8 tsp Cayenne Pepper

1-1/2 cup cooked diced or shredded chicken; about 2 chicken breast

½ cup of mixed frozen veggies

Directions:

Melt the butter; add the flour whisk over medium low heat until well blended. Cook until bubbling and frothy.

Add milk and chicken broth stirring until smooth and thickened. Stirring occasionally as to not to scorch the bottom of the pan. I tend to let this come to a slow boil or simmer before the next step.

Stir in seasoning.  Add Chicken and veggies and cook until heated through. Bring back to simmer or slow boil.

Serve over biscuits
