Budget Dinner Recipes

1/4 c. butter 1/4 c. flour 1/2 tsp. salt dash pepper 1 1/2 c. water 1/4 c. milk 1 tsp. chicken bouillon granules 2 c. leftover chicken, cubed paprika to taste

A warm and creamy treatment for leftover chicken night. Serve it over noodles or over green beans. Yield: 4-6 servings Note: If you don't have chicken bouillon granules, try using a packet of chicken Ramen seasoning. Or a bouillon cube. In a large skillet, melt butter. Stir flour into melted butter to make a roux (a paste of flour and fat). Season with salt and pepper. Slowly, add the water to the skillet, stirring to prevent lumps. Add milk. Bring to a boil. Add bouillon (or Ramen seasoning). Allow to cook a few minutes, or until thickened. Add chicken and heat through. Serve over beans or buttered noodles.
