Chicken A La King (usda)

We are all starved for the glory of God, not self. No one goes to the Grand Canyon to increase self-esteem. Why do we go? Because there is greater healing for the soul in beholding splendor than there is in beholding self. Indeed, what could be more ludicrous in a vast and glorious universe like this than a human being, on the speck called earth, standing in front of a mirror trying to find significance in his own self-image? It is a great sadness that this is the gospel of the modern world. The Christian Gospel is about 'the glory of Christ,' not about me. And when it is—in some measure—about me, it is not about my being made much of by God, but about God mercifully enabling me to enjoy making much of Him forever.

INSTRUCTIONS

Line four 8x8-inch baking pans with heat-resistant freezer wrap.  Allow
enough extra wrap to fold over top.  Use one pan for each six  servings
or one-fourth of the recipe.  Baking pans are not needed for  food to
be served without freezing.  Add peas, onion, and green pepper to
boiling water.  Cover.  Cook  slowly for 5 minutes. Drain; save cooking
liquid. Combine vegetable  cooking liquid with broth.  Heat to boiling.
Mix flour with milk.  Stir slowly into broth mixture.  Cook until
thickened, stirring constantly. Stir in chicken, vegetables, mushroom
pieces, pimientos, and seasonings.  TO SERVE WITHOUT FREEZING:  Heat to
serving temperature.  Serve over  cooked rice or hot biscuits.  TO
FREEZE:  Pour one-fourth of the mixture into one of the prepared
baking pans.  Cool for 30 minutes at room temperature.  Complete
wrapping by pulling paper up over top of food.  Put edges of wrap
together and fold several times so paper lies directly on top of  food.
Fold ends of freezer wrap over the top and seal with freezer  tape.
Label with name of food, date of freezing, and last date the  food
should be used for best eating quality (about 6 months). Freeze
immediately for 10 to 12 hours before removing packages from the pans.
TO HEAT FROZEN FOOD:  Preheat oven to 350Ã¸ F. (moderate).  Remove
freezer wrap.  Place food in baking pan.  Heat 1 1/2 hours or until
bubbly at edges. Stir occasionally during heating. After heating,  stir
gently until sauce is smooth. Serve over cooked rice or hot  biscuits.

A Message from our Provider:

“Thankfulness to God is a recognition that God in His goodness and faithfulness has provided for us and cared for us, both physically and spiritually. It is a recognition that we are totally dependent upon Him; that all that we are and have comes from God. #Jerry Bridges”
