Directions

Melt butter in skillet and sautee onion & green pepper just until soft.
Add 1/4 C flour and cook until bubbly.
Add: chicken stock, milk, spices (except parsley). Cook, stirring almost constantly until smooth and thickened.
Add: chicken, parsley, peas. Heat through and serve over rice, dressing, mashed potatoes, pasta, homemade crackers.....

How I have tweaked it:
half an onion at the most
substitute celery for green pepper
add chopped carrots (sautee with onion and celery)
usually add peas
sometimes I had mushrooms
