    List of Ingredients




    1 broiler/fryer chicken (3 to 4 pounds), cut up
    8 cups water
    1-1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
    1-1/2 teaspoons pepper, divided
    2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen puff pastry shells
    1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
    1 medium green pepper, chopped
    1/2 cup small fresh broccoli florets
    5 tablespoons butter, cubed
    6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
    2 cups milk
    1 jar (2 ounces) diced pimientos, drained
    1/4 teaspoon paprika

    Recipe



    In a large kettle, bring the chicken, water, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper to a boil.
    Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until chicken is tender.
    Remove chicken from broth; cool.
    Remove meat from bones; cut into cubes and set aside. Discard skin and bones.
    Drain broth and skim fat; set aside 1 cup broth (refrigerate remaining broth for another use).

    Gradually stir in milk and reserved broth until blended. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
    Add the pimientos, paprika, reserved chicken and remaining salt and pepper.
    Cook and stir until heated through.
