Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 red bell pepper (seeded and finely diced)
1/2 yellow onion (finely diced)
2 ribs celery (finely diced)
1 (8-ounce) package sliced button mushrooms, roughly chopped
2 teaspoons Kosher salt, separated
1 teaspoon black pepper, separated
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 1/4 cup unsalted chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups diced or cubed cooked chicken

Steps:

  • Add the butter to a large skillet (with a fitted lid) or a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. As soon as the butter has melted, add the diced bell pepper, onion, celery, mushrooms, 1 teaspoon Kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir the mixture until evenly coated in the butter. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and cook for about 6 minutes -- just until everything has softened.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir for about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth one big splash at a time, stirring until completely mixed and smooth after each addition.
  • Once all of the broth has been incorporated, stir in 1 teaspoon Kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
  • Stir the peas and the cream, and bring to a simmer. Simmer for about 5 minutes more, then stir in the chicken.
  • Serve over biscuits, rice, or pasta and enjoy!
