Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 8 pieces store-bought or homemade biscuits
Instructions
Preheat your oven and bake the biscuits according to package instructions (or your homemade recipe). Keep them warm while preparing the creamed chicken.
In a medium-sized pot, place the chicken breasts and cover them with water. Bring the water to a gentle boil and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
Remove the chicken from the pot and let it rest for a few minutes. Shred the chicken using two forks and set it aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour to create a roux. Cook this mixture for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Follow with the milk, continuing to whisk until the sauce is smooth and begins to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.
Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Adjust the seasoning to your taste, if needed.
Add the shredded chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat it evenly in the creamy sauce. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
To serve, split a warm biscuit in half and spoon a generous amount of the creamed chicken mixture over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy this comforting dish!
