Frequently Asked Questions About Vegetable Chicken with Béchamel
What goes into Vegetable Chicken with Béchamel?

How do you make Vegetable Chicken with Béchamel?
To make Vegetable Chicken with Béchamel, cook the chicken and vegetables, arrange them in an ovenproof dish, pour over béchamel, and bake until hot and lightly browned. Pre-cooking watery vegetables and draining them helps keep the sauce from turning thin.
Can you make Vegetable Chicken with Béchamel without baking it?

Why does the béchamel sauce in Vegetable Chicken with Béchamel turn lumpy?
The béchamel in Vegetable Chicken with Béchamel turns lumpy when the milk is added too quickly or the mixture is not whisked continuously. Pour in the milk gradually while whisking; if lumps remain, blend the sauce briefly before adding it to the chicken.
Can you prepare Vegetable Chicken with Béchamel ahead of time?
