1/3 cup butter8 to 10 chicken thigh fillets½ cup sliced canned button mushrooms, liquid included (200g)2 green bell peppers, diced2 pimientos, diced½ c all purpose cream
2 cups of chicken broth where chicken was cooked add liquid from canned mushrooms (add hot water if liquid will not amount to 2 cups)salt to taste

Procedure:
1. Rub 1 tsp salt on chicken thigh fillets then cook by simmering in ½ cup water. Cool and cut into 1-1/2 inch cubes.

2. Core and remove the seed from the bell peppers and pimientos. Dice.

3. Melt the butter in a thick-bottomed pan. Add the bell peppers and pimientos and cook for about a minute. Remove from the butter and set aside.
Reheat the butter. Add the all-purpose cream.

4. Pour in the chicken broth little by little, stirring as you pour. Add the cooked chicken, mushrooms and bell peppers. Season with salt and nutmeg. Cover and simmer for about 5 minutes. Put Lady’s Choice Mayonnaise, stir and simmer until mayonnaise is dissolved and the dish becomes creamy.

5. Serve with rice or toasted bread or in commercially available pastry cups. This will also be great served cold with buttered toast.

Please note that I added mayonnaise at the end to thicken the sauce and round off all the flavors of this dish.
