In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, whisk in the gluten-free all-purpose flour to form a smooth roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Once fully incorporated, gradually add the whole milk while continuing to whisk.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat. As it heats, the soup will thicken. Stir frequently to ensure it does not scorch on the bottom.
If using, stir in the cooked, shredded chicken for added texture and flavor.
Season the soup with salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme (if using). Adjust seasoning to taste.
Simmer for 1-2 more minutes until desired consistency is reached. If the soup is too thick, stir in a small amount of additional chicken broth or milk to thin it.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Use immediately in recipes calling for canned cream of chicken soup, or transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
