If it\u2019s thick and you want to thin it out, add more broth 1\/4 cup at a time, stirring in between until you\u2019ve reached your sauce perfection.<\/p>\n To thicken, mix 1 tablespoon of flour with 1\/4 cup of milk (making sure it\u2019s fully blended and there are no lumps), then pour the mixture into the pot a little at a time, stirring between, until you\u2019ve reached your desired consistency.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Allow the dish to cool completely. Once cooled, into individual freezer-safe containers or resealable plastic freezer bags. Make sure to leave a little room at the top of each container, as the food will expand slightly when frozen. Label each container with the date and contents, then store them in the freezer for up to 3 months<\/p>\n When you\u2019re ready to enjoy, thaw an individual portion in the refrigerator overnight. Reheat in a microwave-safe dish, adding a splash of chicken broth or milk if the mixture seems too thick. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until warmed through.<\/p>\n Refrigerate<\/strong> leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.<\/p>\n Reheat<\/strong> portions in the microwave on high in 30-second increments, stirring in between for even heating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Trending Products<\/strong>Why Our Recipe<\/h2>\n
