• You might want to check and stir it once or twice during the cooking time to keep it from separating.
• Serve the sauce over the chicken.
• Sprinkle with additional nutmeg if desired.
• NOTES:.
• If you don't have bon appetit seasoning, you can substitute a mixture of celery salt and onion powder in equal amounts.
• If you would rather use celery seed and/or dried onion flakes, try to crush them up as much as possible, and add about 1/4 teaspoons of salt.
• Also, if you find the sauce getting too thick, you can always thin it just a bit with a little milk or cream.
