Creamy Chicken Ala King

Yum! is all I can say. I cooked this for dinner because we invited some friends over & as usual it was a hit :)  Thought you'd appreciate a good homespun recipe that is truly satisfying, paired with steamed rice, bread or mashed potatoes. Hmm..give it a try!

INGREDIENTS:
1kg. boneless chicken breasts, cut up
1 large white onion quartered
dollop of margarine/butter- your choice
cubed potatoes, about 3 large ones
300 gms. of button mushrooms, halved
fresh baby peas
red and green bellpepper, cut into large cubes (capsicum)
baby corn
Evaporated milk, 1 can
cornflour

HOW TO:
1. In a deep wok over medium heat, melt butter with oil- preferably a no cholesterol one (i use rice bran oil).
2. Toss in the onions and when translucent, add in potatoes, saute' a couple of minutes.
3. Add in the chicken pieces & season with salt and a little pepper. Cover and let cook for another 2-3 minutes.
4. Add in 1 cup of water and cover- leave until chicken is cooked and potatoes are tender.
5. Toss in the capsicums, baby corn and cover, add more seasoning if needed. Leave for 5 minutes over low heat.
6. Now we could add in the mushrooms and evaporated milk- leave 1/4 c of milk to dissolve about a tbsp. of cornflour, just to thicken the sauce. Blend well to incorporate cornflour throughout the sauce. Let cook for 3 minutes.
7. Turn off heat and add in the green peas.

Ta-da! all done :)
