A versatile and creamy sauce perfect for soups, casseroles, or as a pasta sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute to form a light roux.
  3. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk until the sauce is smooth and free of lumps.
  4. Add the shredded chicken, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.
  5. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens, about 5–7 minutes.
  6. Use immediately in casseroles or soups, or cool and store in the freezer for later use.

Notes

A great way to use leftover or rotisserie chicken. For a thicker sauce, slowly whisk in slightly warmed broth or milk.
