• My Note: I used refrigerated biscuits and added about 3/4 cup of thawed small vegs (corn, peas, beans). Sauce was nice and creamy and leftovers were great also.
• I cooked 3 chicken breast with celery and onions with seasonings and a tsp of chicken base. strained the stock and used that as my broth. Added frozen peas and carrots. The kids loved it. Have served on rice, toast, biscuits or noodles and all are recommended. very quick and versitile recipe. Might next time even switch out turkey for the chicken etc. A way to use the leftover veggies and holiday meat. This is a good, old-fashioned recipe for everyone's recipe file, in my opinion.
