japanese cream stew

Since my daughter doesn't like the taste of milk, I try to sneak in milk in food. White sauce is the best way to get a lot of milk in. If you have other suggestions for getting milk in the food or snack, please share the recipe with me!

Ingredients:

Chicken - 1 breast (cubed)
Carrots - 3 small (cubed)
Potatoes - 2 med (cubed)
Onion - 1 small (cubed)
Broccoli - 1/2 cup (cubed)

[White sauce]
Butter - 6 TBS
Flour - 1/3 cup
Milk - at least 2 cups (or more, depending on your desired consistency)
Salt & Pepper - to taste

Prep: 

1. Cut all veggies. Set aside.
2. Cut chicken breast into cubes. Season with 1tsp of salt and pepper. 

 Cook:

1. In a larger pot or skillet, heat 1 TBS olive oil. Fry onion for 2-3 minutes. 
2. Add in chicken. Fry for another 2-3 minutes. 
3. Add in carrots and potatoes. Fry for 3-5 minutes. Add in little bit of water if it gets dry.
4. [White sauce] In another pot, melt butter. Add in flour. Whisk consistently.
5. Slowly add milk. Whisk consistently and add milk slowly until you get the consistency of the stew.  **see TIPS
6. When you get the consistency you want, add the white sauce with chicken/veggies. Let it simmer for few minutes. Adjust the consistency with milk and taste it according to your liking.

Serve:

1. With rice or pasta. **see TIPS

TIPS

• If you don't like too much milk in the stew, substitute half with chicken stock. 
• If you keep the stew overnight in fridge, you need to add more chicken stock, water or milk when you reheat.
