Ingredients
- 1 lb Boneless chicken thighs or boneless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 cups milk
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 dash hot pepper sauce
- 1 cup shredded extra-old cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup finely diced sweet red peppers or green pepper
- 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
Preparation
Cut chicken into bite-size pieces. In large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken. Transfer to plate.
Drain fat from pan. Fry onion, garlic, salt, pepper and thyme over medium heat, stirring often, until softened, 5 minutes.
Sprinkle with flour; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Whisk in milk; cook, whisking, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in mustard and hot pepper sauce.
Return chicken and any juices to pan; cover and simmer until juices run clear when chicken is pierced, about 10 minutes.
Add cheese and half each of the red pepper and parsley; stir until cheese is melted. Sprinkle each serving with remaining red pepper and parsley.
