Greenwich Chicken ala King

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp butter
• ½ tbsp oil
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small carrot, diced
• ¼ cup canned mushrooms, drained and sliced
• 1 small chicken breast (about 150-200g), diced
• ½ cup water
• ½ cup canned cream of mushroom soup
• ¼ cup milk
• salt, to taste
• pepper, to taste
• ¼ cup green peas
• ½ cup quick-melt cheese, grated
• 2 cups cooked rice

Directions

• On medium heat, sauté the onion and garlic in the butter and oil until softened and aromatic. Add the carrots and cook for a minute until slightly tender. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully cooked and no longer pink. Stir in the canned mushrooms and cook for 1-2 minutes.
• Add the water and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the cream of mushroom soup and mix until smooth. Lower the heat and add the milk. Simmer 1-2 minutes, until the sauce is thick and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then add the green peas.
• Divide the cooked rice between two oven-safe bowls or dishes, spreading it out evenly. Pour the Chicken ala King generously over the rice in each bowl. Sprinkle a layer of cheese on top.
• Place the bowls under a pre-heated broiler for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly and slightly golden.
• Carefully remove the bowls from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Makes 2 servings.
