Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 4 servings Soft sandwich rolls or bread slices
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly, to create a smooth roux.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking to avoid lumps.
Once the broth is fully incorporated, add the milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Whisk until the mixture thickens, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the shredded cooked chicken to the creamy sauce and stir until evenly coated and heated through, around 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add parsley for garnish if desired.
Serve warm on soft sandwich rolls or bread slices. Enjoy your creamed chicken sandwiches!
