200 ml milk or rice milk

You may need more or less milk

Add the onion and mushroom to the sauce then using a hand blender blitz half the mixture so you have a smooth sauce with some chopped veg still there
5
Add the chicken, peas, salt and basil and let simmer a few minutes til chicken is cooked through
6
Add as much rice as you need to make it a good meal and add enough chicken stock to thin it down as after adding the rice it will be quite thick
