Ingredients

6 c. cooked chicken thighs (I steam them) cooked til tender. Picked through.

8 c. of your favorite rice

Bechamel sauce:Recipe to follow (you need milk, butter, flour,chicken broth)

1 lb. sharp cheddar cheese.

1/2 c. pimento or roasted red pepper.

2 tbs. fresh or dried parsley

Sea Salt, Fresh ground pepper

Optional: Frozen peas, cayenne pepper in the bechamel sauce, red pepper flakes to taste

Directions

Make the bechamel sauce:

Bechamel sauce, a basic white sauce important in creating many sauces for macaroni dishes and vegetables. 1/4 c. butter 4 tbsp. flour, milk, 1/4 tsp. salt, Dash of cayenne pepper This is approximate; use your head

Melt the butter in a large sauce pan, add the flour and seasonings. Stir with a wire whisk and bring to a fast boil, stirring constantly to make it smooth. Cook for 2 minutes. Add a little milk at a time but keep it to a dense texture. Add chicken broth to make a satiny sauce stirring vigorously with the wire whisk. Beat until the sauce is thick and creamy.

Now add the cheese and melt completely stirring constantly

Makes about 4-5 cups

Combine everything in a large mixing bowl, pour into a very large casserole dish that has been buttered. Bake at 350 degrees COVERED with foil or whatever for 30 minutes. Remove cover; cook 10-15 minutes.
