It's 1.42am and I have a banging headache and can't sleep so I thought I'd share a quick recipe. Mix this sauce with pasta and baaaaaam. Or even just with a nice baguette/ciabatta bread. So according to BBC food recipes below is the ingredients for a simple white sauce that I adapted, of course I guessed my quantities (I reeaaaally couldn't be bothered to fish out the scales) but it turned out good. This one's pretty easy and quick.
Ingredients:
2 chicken thigh fillets (just because they're juicer) season with salt & pepper
Half a red onion
1. First chop the onions into small cubes.
2. To prep the chicken: clean fillets and cut into small bite size chunks.
3. Heat a pan, add a tablespoon of oil and cook the onions until soft.
4. Add in the chicken and cook until just cooked (roughly 5 mins)
5. Leave to the side and make sauce.
Sauce
25g butter
25 plain flour
600 ml milk
Salt and pepper to season
Handful of spinach
Handful of chopped mushrooms
1. Melt the butter over a low heat
2. Add the flour and mix in for roughly a minute (it'll be doughy)
3. Take off heat and gradually stir in the milk until combined and then put back on heat whilst stirring. You'll see it slowly thicken and become creamy.
4. Add the mushrooms and stir for a few minutes.
5. Now add in the chicken and onions and stir, add spinach and allow a few minutes for it to cook.
Season to your taste and ta-da. Quick, tasty, easy meal. Staple recipe!
