Servings: persons

3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 cup chicken broth, I use Better than Bouillon- Chicken Base mixed with water
1/2 cup white pearl onion, frozen
1/2 cup half-and-half or 1/2 cup whole milk
2 cups chicken, cooked and cubed
4 ounces fresh mushrooms, chopped, I prefer fresh small crimini mushrooms for their color
1 tablespoon sherry wine
salt, as needed
ground pepper, to taste
Serving suggestions
6 patty shells, toast points, rice

1
Melt the butter in a large saucepan, add pearl onions and swirl them around for a few minutes to season the butter. Remove the onions from the butter and set aside.
2
Blend in the flour. Cook for 2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste, whisking continually, careful not to overly brown the roux.
3
Add the chicken broth and cream and stir until thickened and smooth.
4
Add the chicken and mushrooms and pearl onions and cook for 1 minute, or until mixture begins to bubble.
5
Season to taste and then stir in the sherry.
6
Simmer on lowest heat setting for 15 -20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Careful not to burn.
7
Serve over toast points, puff pastry patty shells or rice.
8
NOTE: Now you can get fancier than this but because this sauce is plenty rich, I used plain toast to make toast points. Toast several slices of a hearty white bread. Remove the crusts, and slice on a diagonal getting 2-4 triangles per slice.
9
Serve with a side of peas.
