Creamed Chicken and Avocado

Serves 8-10

3 small cooked chickens
3 avocados, peeled and stoned
300 ml (1/2) pint) milk
150 ml (1/4) pint double cream
15 ml (1 tablespoon) dry sherry
75 g (3oz) butter
75 g (3oz) flour
50 g (2oz) Cheddar cheese, grated
450 ml (3/4) pint) chicken stock
Juice of lemon

Melt the butter and add the flour. Stir in the stock, milk and cream, and cook for 10 minutes. Take the chicken meat off the bones, and cut into bite-sized pieces, then add to the sauce.

Add the sherry, and season to taste. Lay slices of avocado on the bottom of a casserole. Sprinkle with the lemon juice, and spoon the chicken mixture on top.

Sprinkle with the grated cheese and bake for 45 minutes in a preheated oven (350°F, 180°C, gas 4) until bubbling. Serve with jacket potatoes and salad.
