Total Time: 55 mins Preparation Time: 15 mins Cook Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 2 cups cubed cooked chicken (parts on hand)
• 1 pint defatted chicken broth
• 1 -2 tablespoon honey mustard
• 1/4 cup frozen baby peas
• 1 pint heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch

Recipe

• 1 either use left over chicken and canned broth or poach chicken in 1 pint of water and use cooking liquid as the broth-- if using the cooking water as broth, flavour by adding chopped celery and carrots for a better tasting broth.
• 2 put the broth and mustard in a sauce pan and simmer until the honey is blended with the broth.
• 3 add some freshly cracked pepper and a bit of nutmeg or cinnamon. add the frozen peas to the pan and then remove from heat. mix the cream and cornstarch well and add to the pan.
• 4 add in the cooked cubed chicken and then put the pan back on low heat; stir until thickened slightly.
• 5 try with cinnamon raisin bagel bites or croutons.
• 6 keep the heat gentle as you do not want to curdle the cream. everything is cooked already, so nothing needs to be boiled.
