Creamed Chicken
Source of Recipe
internet
List of Ingredients
1 stick unsalted butter
1/2 cup flour
4 cups milk
4 cups cooked, shredded chicken- about 3-4 chicken breast halves
fresh thyme leaves from one sprig, or 2 pinches ground thyme
salt and pepper to taste
Recipe
In a large pot over medium high heat, melt butter. To melted butter, whisk in flour until smooth. Slowly whisk in milk. Add the thyme. Turn heat down to medium and cook until thickened. Add chicken then salt (I use about 2 t. Kosher salt) and pepper to taste.
Serve hot over baked puffed pastry shells, toast, or buttered noodles. Also good over rice, baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, or biscuits. We also like ours with peas on the side or placed over top. If you add the peas to the pot of creamed chicken, the flavor will get too pea-ish. Unless you like pea-ish!
