Creamed Chicken.

So last night I tried a new recipe that I had in a Cooking Light Cookbook it was DELICIOUS! And sooooooo easy to make. I had to find a recipe that called for Heavy Whipping Cream since I had a 1/2 carton that needed to get used ASAP.  I do not have a picture of it but wanted to share the recipe :D

~Creamed Chicken~
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups milk  **you can do all heavy cream, all milk, or heavy cream with water the more cream/milk the richer/creamier the mixture will be**
1 teaspoon butter (I misread and actually used a tablespoon and it was great)
1 pound cut up chicken breast (cooked)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (and any other seasoning you like to use)
1 cup frozen (thawed) or canned peas

Lightly spoon flour in a dry measuring cup and level with a knife. Combine flour and 1/2 cream in a large saucepan over medium heat stir with a whisk. Cook for 4 minutes or until thick. (it will thicken as it sits after being removed from heat too so do not be surprised by this) Stir in peas, butter, and chicken cook two minutes remove from heat stir in lemon juice. Voila delicious easy chicken dinner!

I served it with roasted potatos it was great.
Dice potatoes toss in olive oil and seasoning bake at 425 for about 30 minutes or until tender :D
