Yield 6 , 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
salt (to taste)
4 chicken breasts, cut into strips
1 onion, diced
1 cup peas
1 teaspoon garlic
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup bacon bits
4 ounces mushrooms (or fresh)
4 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup shredded cheese (I used four cheese Mexican)
1 cup grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Melt half a stick of butter in a saucepan. Cook chicken, garlic, bacon bits, mushrooms, onion and peas until tender and you won't get food poisoning. Season with a bit of salt, onion powder and old bay. .
  • (Tip: I put my chicken on a George Foreman grill for four minutes to give it those crispy lines, but you can cook it in the pan.).
  • Move cooked ingredients to the side and mix together half a stick of butter and four tablespoons of flour on low to medium heat (3 minutes) until it resembles a creamy paste.
  • Stir in two cups of milk and a cup of chicken broth and mix well. Bring to a slow boil. Mix often.
  • Add one cup of shredded cheese and a cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Get creative! .
  • Add your other cooked ingredients. Allow to thicken and simmer on low for about ten minutes. Add more milk or chicken broth if you want a thinner sauce or you find the cheese gets stringy.
  • Use over your favorite pasta.
