Chicken A La King


You need:

- 2 cups cooked, shredded boneless chicken (thigh meat preferred).
- Sour cream.
- 1 1/2 cup chicken stock.
- A little all purpose flour.
- Salt.
- Unsalted butter.
- Half a cup pimento or roasted red bell pepper (stripped).

To serve 2 persons, boil two cups of uncooked chicken and reserve the liquid - which can be used as chicken stock.
Put 2 tbs of butter in a heated skillet. As it melts, put in 1 1/2 tbs all purpose flour. Stir it for a while then put in the cooked chicken. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour the chicken stock, stir it, and allow it to thicken. Once it thickens, turn off the the heat and put in 2 tbs sour cream and the pimento. Mix it with the chicken. Serve hot with egg noodles or buttered steam rice.
