8 ounces diced cooked chicken
1 cup fresh or frozen peas, blanched
1 cup diced cooked carrots
1 can 14 oz. Swanson Chicken broth
2 ½ Tablespoons butter or margarine
2 Tablespoons flour
2 ounces Swiss
You can use pre-cooked chicken, leftover roasted chicken , or cook fresh diced chicken over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown.
In a medium saucepan heat butter until bubbly, whisk in flour until combined, gradually whisk in broth and continue to cook over medium heat until thickened . The result should be a thin to medium sauce, if too thick, add a little more broth; season with white pepper. Stir in the Swiss cheese, add the chicken, peas and carrots and simmer for about 5 minutes.
