Heather's Chicken a la King

Updating all my recipes onto this blog, I am finding hidden gems that I had forgotten about. It seems each South African has their own recipe for this dish. Heather's is great.

Serves 4

450 g Chicken breast fillets, cut into small pieces
2 medium sized onions, peeled and finely chopped
1 large green pepper, deseeded and finely chopped
150 g sliced button mushrooms
Chicken stock cube, dissolved in 1/2 cup boiling water
50g Butter / marge
50g Plain flour
2 x 15ml cold milk
300ml warm milk
Salt & pepper
Nutmeg

Melt butter in a saucepan and gently fry onion and green pepper till
onion is transparent.
Stir in flour with a wooden spoon, then stir in cold milk
Remove from heat and gradually add warm milk and stock. Return to heat
and bring to the boil, stirring continuously.
Add seasoning and chicken and cook for 5 minutes more.
Serve with rice and green salad
