Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
- 4 tablespoons Salted butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 4 slices Sliced bread (white, whole wheat, or sourdough)
Instructions
Shred the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is fully melted, sprinkle in the flour. Whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to form a smooth roux, ensuring it doesn't scorch.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to avoid lumps. Then add the chicken broth and continue to whisk until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to season the sauce.
Add the shredded chicken to the sauce and stir to combine. Let it simmer on low heat for 5 minutes to heat through.
While the chicken mixture is simmering, toast the slices of bread until golden brown using a toaster or under a broiler.
Place one slice of toasted bread on each plate and top generously with the cream chicken mixture.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately.
