- 1
Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a wide skillet over medium. Cook 8 ounces sliced mushrooms, ½ diced green bell pepper, and ½ diced onion for 6–8 minutes, until the vegetables soften and the mushrooms lose their wet shine.

Sprinkle in 3 tablespoons flour and stir for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in 2 cups chicken broth and 1 cup whole milk, scraping the pan as the sauce thickens.

Simmer gently for 4–5 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce coats a spoon. Add 3 cups shredded cooked chicken, ½ cup frozen peas, and ¼ cup diced pimentos.

Warm 4–5 minutes, until the peas are tender and the chicken is steaming hot. Taste for salt and pepper, then spoon over toast, biscuits, rice, or puff pastry.
