Preparation:

Pre cook the chicken breasts in micro wave for about 10 minutes on high. Set aside to cool. When cool, pull into strips about the size of a small finger. (You could use an equal amount of leftover roast chicken.) Singe the rough cut onions in cast iron skillet over medium high heat. When lightly browned (3-5 minutes). Add the rest of the vegetables, the garlic and the spices. Add butter and sizzle over medium heat until the vegetables are limp, about 5 minutes. Stir in the dry roux. Then stir in the chicken broth and simmer uncovered over low heat for 15 min. Add the chicken and continue to simmer for another 10-15 minutes. The sauce should be about as thick as a thin gravy. Serve over rice. Makes two generous servings.
