Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add in the onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Saute until the onions are translucent, about 5 mnutes.
- Whisk the flour into the butter and onion mixture. Then slowly whisk in the chicken stock, a little at a time until it is fully absorbed. Then whisk in the half and half. Bring the mixture to a simmer. (Read more about making a roux for creamed peas here.)
- Stir in the frozen peas. Taste and add more salt and pepper as needed. If the sauce is too thick, add a little chicken stock, about a tablespoon at a time, to thin it out.
