  2. 2

    Peel and wash the carrots. Cut asparagus and carrots diagonally into slices or pieces. Clean and clean the mushrooms and, depending on size, halve or quarter them. Prepare rice in boiling salted water according to package instructions.

  4. 4

    Lift the chicken out of the broth, pour the broth through a sieve. Measure out 1/2 litre of stock. Bring to the boil in a saucepan, add mushrooms, carrots, asparagus and peas and let everything simmer for about 5 minutes. Put the vegetables on a sieve, catch the broth.

    Add white wine and milk and fill up to 1 litre with the remaining stock. Use remaining stock for other purposes. Heat the fat in a pot, dust with flour and sauté briefly. Add the liquid quickly while stirring, bring to the boil and simmer for about 5 minutes.
