Step-by-Step Method
Prep the ingredients
Shred or dice the cooked chicken. Chop the celery, slice the mushrooms, and dice the pepper so everything cooks quickly.
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.
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.
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.
Finish and serve
Mix in the parsley right before serving. Serve hot over rice, pasta, or toast.
