• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• ½ medium onion, finely chopped

• ¼ cup flour
• 2 cups chicken stock
• 2 cups milk
• 1 cup half and half
• 2 cups broccoli florets, roughly chopped
• 1 cup carrots, julienned
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
• 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, grated
• 2 cups Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Chicken, thawed and roughly chopped

Directions

• Thaw the chicken.
• In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Stir in the onions and cook until translucent, 3-5 minutes. Set aside.
• Into a large saucepan or large soup pot, add the ¼ cup melted butter and flour. Quickly whisk together to form a roux. It should take anywhere from 2-4 minutes. Add a bit of extra butter if needed to keep the flour from burning.
• Slowly pour in the chicken stock while whisking. Whisk until the roux has combined with the stock. Bring to a simmer.
• Then, add the milk and half and half, onions, broccoli, and carrots. Cook for about 20 minutes. During the last 5 minutes, add in the chicken and nutmeg.
• Stir in the cheese and stir until the cheese has melted. Salt and pepper, to taste.
• Prepare the chicken strips according to package directions.
• In a medium-sized bowl, add all the sauce ingredients and mix until combined.
• In a large skillet or pan, add the cooked chicken strips. Pour the sauce over and toss until the sauce covers all the strips.
• Cook until the sauce starts to stick onto the chicken. It should take under a minute.
