The first night after the roast I just warmed up some things more or less.
...leftover scalloped potatoes and chicken but I did make fresh carrots.
I don't always have chicken stock and often use the boullion cubes - I cooked the carrots with some water, one cube of chicken boullion and a bayleaf - I saved the "water" from the carrots to use the next day.
It looks a lot like Uncle Dick's Chicken á la King - but we don't make it exactly the same way. I made a rue with flour and butter and used the carrot-water for the base - I added a little cream - some green beans from a jar (prefer frozen or peas but didn't have any) and some white wine to give a little body...the leftover chicken and veggies..bayleaf...tyme...fresh ground pepper - the carrot-water makes the whole thing slightly sweet. I served it over rice - a one dish meal!
