Method of Cookery

  2. Add chicken stock to sauce—beat well.
  3. Poach celery until just tender.
  4. Add celery to chicken pieces and cover with 1⅞ cups sauce.
  5. Add cheese to remaining sauce—beat well until dissolved.

Serving

Makes a good buffet-style dish when served with crusty bread and a good tossed salad. Serve a good “fruity” white wine—chilled.
