I often make this little chicken sauce using leftover chicken (and homemade chicken stock if I’ve had time to make some). I know it doesn’t look very impressive but the children love the mild flavour and it’s creamy and comforting despite being gluten and dairy free. Try to use a good stock as the sauce relies on it for flavour. #dinner #kidstea

Steps

15 mins

1

Start by gently sweating the onions and garlic in the olive oil for about 10 minutes.
2

Sprinkle over the flour and stir it into the onion mix. Then start slowly adding the stock to thin it back out.
3

I switch to a whisk here and use that to prevent lumps forming while I add all the stock. Turn the heat up and bring it to a boil. Stir while the sauce thickens.
4

Let it bubble for a few minutes while stirring up cook out the flour. Then turn the heat down and stir in the almond milk.
5

Add the leftover chicken and salt and pepper to taste. You can add cooked veg like peas here too. That’s it! My kids like it with rice, pasta or mash.
