Ok here is the recipe for chicken sauce with bechamel sauce:

Chicken Breast: Take the chicken breast piece, cut it in half vertically from the middle (chicken breast is like a heart shape, so when you cut vertically from the middle it will be like a half heart). Then from the thicker side of the piece (which will probably the inner side, which will be straight), slice them from middle horizontally, so you will have 2 sort of thin slices. Then pound the chicken with a pounder (if you don't have a pounder, you can use a heavy frying) .

Now cut those pounded pieces horizontally into two equal pieces.

Oh and make sure when you start working with the breast, it is dry not wet. Use paper towel to dry as needed.

Stuffing: my sister was making aloo samosas so we used some of that mixture with mozzarella cheese. (the mixture had mash potatoes, salt, blk pepper, cilantro, and finely chopped onions)

Take some butter in a bowl, make sure it has been softened in room temperature.

Now take the pounded breast strips. spread little butter, then leaving little edge add little of the potato mixture and sprinkle some cheese on it, then roll it. If you want you can pin up the edges with a toothpick. Stuff all the pieces.

Now in one plate take some bread crumb (i used italitain bread crumb as they are seasoned) and in another one beat few eggs (2-3)

Roll the chicken in bread crumb, egg, and bread crumb. In a skillet add some oil, let it get warm then add your chicken pieces and let them cook on medium low heat under cover. After few mins change sides. Take them out when golden brown from all sides.

Sauce:

I had skim milk at home and it was qiute a job to get the taste so I would suggest either use whole milk or better use some cream like half n half.

In a pot add little oil and butter, little garlic powder (if you use garlic paste then saute it for couple mins) then add flour to the oil butter, and bhonafy it for few mins ( i would say if you are using 1 cup of milk/cream then use like 1 tbsp of flour) after few mins add the milk, salt, blk pepper, and nut meg if you have. Also don't add all the milk at once. Add it in smaller quantity and use a whisk so you can make a smooth sauce. Once you have added all the milk, let it come to a boil (but keep stirring with the whisk) then add parmesan cheese ( i added mozzarella cheese too). Mix it and let it cook for another couple mins or so.

In a serving plate layer your chicken, pour the sauce over (make sure you don't pour too much sauce over) If you think you have extra then take it out in a separate bowl.


Enjoy it with rice, pasta, or veggies.

Oh and sorry in advance for all the typos..

I hope the recipe is not too confusing...lol

Thanks!

I bought a pack of veggie "sausage". mixed it up with dhania/green onions/kabab masala/garlic-ginger paste and just mashed it up. Cook it with a little bit of olive oil. This one turned out differently than the veggie beef in that it was a bit sticky to mix and lighter in color than teh "beef."

Wasn't disgust just a mild dislike of the hair conversation.

PS: I was reacting to sidra and ardestria's posts yet you ask me the question. Why?

u can get it at any decent sized grocery store.. it's usually found in the produce section where the "health stuff" is.. two brands are Morning Star and the one I used, LightLife (or something ismilar)
