Chicken a la King

This is a fairly simple meal, that's also pretty "kid-friendly" (depending on the kid).
 

1/4 C butter
1/3 C flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 C chicken broth
1 C milk
1 1/2 - 2 C cooked diced chicken (I used my home canned chicken)
about 1 C frozen peas

In a sauce pan, melt the butter.  Then add the broth, and whisk in the flour and salt (as not to create lumps).  Add the milk and let it come to a low boil, making sure to stir with the whisk.  (The heat will thicken the sauce.)  Add the chicken and peas, and heat through.
Serve over hot rice, noodles, or Spaetzle.  Enjoy!
