How to Make Creamed Chicken Or Turkey
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion and 1/2 cup chopped celery and saute until tender, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until well blended, cooking for 1 minute.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 minute, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese (or substitute with another cheese), 2 tablespoons chopped pimientos, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Stir until the cheese is melted and smooth. Add 2 cups cubed cooked chicken or turkey. Stir gently until heated through.
- (Optional) For a puff pastry topping: Pour the creamy chicken mixture into a puff pastry shell. Top with sauteed mushrooms and peas. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
