In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat; add mushrooms; cook until mushrooms are soft, about 5 minutes. Add flour; stir until there are no specks of flour. Pour in chicken broth and milk; bring to a boil; reduce heat to low; simmer until sauce is thickened, about 3 minutes.*
Stir in frozen peas, pimientos and chicken; heat through, 2 - 3 minutes.
Serve hot over cooked rice, pasta, toast or biscuits.
6 servings.
*If wanting a richer sauce, whisk together egg yolks with heavy cream in a small bowl. Working quickly, slowly pour in 1/2 cup of the hot mixture into the egg mixture while whisking vigorously. Immediately pour mixture back into the saucepan, whisking the entire time; cook 2 more minutes.
