2 cups cooked chicken, diced
3 tbsp butter
1/3 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
1 cup sliced mushrooms

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add onion, peppers, and mushrooms. Sauté until tender, 5–7 minutes.
Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
Sprinkle flour over veggies; stir and cook for 2 minutes.
Slowly whisk in broth, then milk. Simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
