Description

Super simple, comforting and delish! I’ve never had leftovers of this leftover.

Ingredients

  • 4 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1 whole Small Onions, Diced
  • 1 stick Celery Finely Chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons Flour
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth
  • ½ cups Heavy Cream
  • 2 cups Cooked Chicken Cut Into Pieces (more Or Less)
  • 1 cup Cooked Sliced Carrots
  • Salt And Pepper, to taste

Preparation

Melt the 4 tbsp butter in a medium saucepan.

Add the onion and celery and cook over medium low heat until veggies are softened.

Sprinkle veggies with the flour and stir it into the mixture careful to remove lumps.

Add half of the chicken broth and stir to incorporate.

Add the remaining stock and cream and simmer until it begins to thicken, stirring.

Add the cooked chicken and carrots & continue to simmer over medium heat until the chicken is warmed through.

Can be served over biscuits (homemade or Pillsbury) I make a simple baking powder biscuit recipe, hash browns, great with potato wedges or even toast if you’re in a time pinch.

This recipe is so flexible and forgiving…you can add what ever veggies you may have on hand such as throwing in a handful of peas! As Ree says, “What ever makes your skirt fly up!” My baking powder biscuit recipe is also posted. ENJOY!

Really good! I will definitely make again. Next time I’ll make more sauce. I added some salt, pepper and dried thyme too. Husband loved it!!

This was simple to make and very good; an excellent way to use left-over chicken. I served it over rice. I used 3 celery ribs and whole milk instead of cream, and the sauce still had a rich smooth texture. I will make this again.
