[Creamed Chicken]

I made this a month or so ago when it was nice and cold, finally got around to posting it. What I liked was that really you can throw anything in, next time I'll do more veggies for sure. I also like it that there's no crust on the bottom.
 
Creamed Chicken
4 Tbs. butter
1/2 cup all purpose flour   
2 cups chicken broth   
1-1/2 cups whole milk
3 chicken breast halves, cooked cube   
2 Tbs. sherry   
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
lemon juice   
white pepper
salt

Melt the butter, whisk in flour, brown. Whisk in broth and milk slowly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer and allow to cook until thickened. Add rest of ingredients and season to taste.


I baked my chicken with some oil and seasonings.


Butter and flour, I like a slightly darker roue.

I'm taking another photoshop class (my 3rd one) and for our mid-term we had to make a collage. I'm different than most people so I did mine on corsets, its not too "corset-ie" but I really love it. I was inspired by Alphonse Munch's stuff. I used a lot of brushes that I downloaded.



Thanks.
