Family-Friendly Chicken Curry Over Rice

Though the recipe calls for one batch of my Simple White Sauce, my kids love this dish so much that I usually double or triple the recipe (and the sauce) for make-ahead dinners and leftovers. The finished dish stores well in the refrigerator. This sauce can also be used to make Creamy Chicken Enchiladas and Homestyle Chicken Potpie.

  • 1 batch of Simple White Sauce (see recipe link above)
