Ingredients

•  4 ounces butter, divided
•  1/2 cup diced red or yellow bell pepper
•  8 ounces (weight) sliced mushrooms
•  1/2 cup all-purpose flour
•  1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
•  1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
•  1/4 teaspoon pepper, plus more to taste
•  1 cup whole milk or cream
•  2 1/2 cups chicken stock, plus extra as needed
•  3-4 cups bite-sized pieces of cooked chicken*
•  1/2 cup frozen green peas
•  1/4 cup (2 ounces) jarred diced pimientos

Instructions

1. Heat a large saucepan or skillet over medium-high heat. Add half of butter; allow to melt.
2. Add mushrooms and bell pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer mushrooms and bell peppers to a bowl/plate. Set aside. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add remaining butter to pan; allow to melt.
3. Whisk in flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until smooth, about 1 minute.
4. Whisk in milk and chicken stock. Bring to a low simmer, stir and cook for 5 minutes. Mixture will thicken and flour taste should cook out. If mixture gets too thick, whisk in a little bit of chicken stock at a time.
5. Stir in cooked mushrooms and bell peppers, as well as chicken, peas and pimientos. Cook until warmed through. Again, if sauce is too thick, add a little bit of stock at a time to desired consistency. Salt and pepper to taste.
