Comfort food! Irene requested this for tonight. She won't get it until she gets home from bussing at the North Shore Grill.
2 whole chicken breasts, boiled in 2 qts water with:
2 celery stalks, cut into thirds
1 onion, cut into quarters
1 bay leaf
1 Tbl Adobo
1 chicken bouillon cube
1 tsp pepper, freshly ground
1 tsp minced garlic
Cool chicken and dice
strain broth
1 1/2 cups loose-pack frozen mixed vegetables
1 cup broth
1 tbl white wine Worcestershire Sauce, dry white wine, or Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 tsp dried basil, crushed
In a large saucepan, combine the frozen vegetables, broth, Worcestershire Sauce or wine, and basil. Bring mixture to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 5 minutes
2 cups milk
1/2 cup flour
diced chicken (about 2 cups)
Meanwhile, combine milk and flour. Stir into vegetable mixture. Cook and stir till thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 1 minute more. Stir in chicken; heat through.
Boil as many potatoes as you need. I use at least 2 potatoes per person, and more is always appreciated.
I use think-skinned potatoes, and leave the skins on. I cut out eyes (vicious, I know) and cut large potatoes in half.
When potatoes are easy to pierce with a fork, drain and put in electric mixing bowl. Add milk and butter (at least 4 Tbl butter and 1/2 cup milk) and 2-4 oz of cream cheese.
Whip potatoes with electric mixer until most lumps are gone.
Serve in bowls.
