Sauté pan

Ingredients

1 TB olive oil
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces
1 onion diced
2 TB garlic minced
1 cup mushrooms sliced
1 bell pepper cut into strips
4 TB flour
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup pimentos drained and chopped
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

To Prep: Add olive oil to a large pan over medium heat. Slice each chicken breast in half longwise, then dice the chicken halves into 1/2 inch cubes.
Add the chicken pieces, diced onion and garlic to the heated pan and sauté until Sauce until chicken just starts to brown. If needed, you can drain some of the liquid from the pan. Add the mushrooms and bell peppers and cook until tender.
Sprinkle on the flour and stir well until everything is coated.
Pour in chicken broth and stir as the sauce thickens. If it seems too thick to stir, you can add more broth.
Once the sauce has the consistency of a gravy, stir in the heavy cream. Simmer on low heat until the sauce is thick enough to stick to the back of a spoon. Finish by stirring in the pimentos, salt, and pepper.
