Step-by-Step Method

5-step method
01

Prep the ingredients

Shred or dice the cooked chicken. Chop the celery, slice the mushrooms, and dice the pepper so everything cooks quickly.

02

Make the roux

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, keeping it pale.

03

Whisk in the milk

Add the milk slowly while whisking to keep the sauce smooth. Once it thickens, season with salt, pepper, and the Worcestershire-style sauce.

04

Add vegetables and chicken

Stir in the celery, mushrooms, green pepper, and pimiento. Add the chicken and cook for 3 minutes, stirring, until the vegetables soften slightly and everything is hot.

05

Finish and serve

Mix in the parsley right before serving. Serve hot over rice, pasta, or toast.
