Ingredients
- 2 cups of cooked and cubed chicken or shredded chicken
- 3 tablespoons butter
- ½ onion about ½ cup, finely chopped
- 1 ½ tsp garlic finely minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- pepper to taste
- ¼ cup flour
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 Tbsp flour optional
- 2 Tbsp water optional
- In a large sauce pan saute the onion in the butter until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for about one minute, stirring, until fragrant.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to combine. Cook over medium heat for one minute.
- Slowly whisk in the milk and chicken broth. Cook stirring constantly with a whisk, and bring the sauce to a simmer over medium. Add the salt and pepper.
- Add the chicken and simmering stirring the sauce frequently, until the sauce has thickened, about 5-8 minutes.
- At this point if you want the sauce to thicken more in a small bowl whisk together the 2 Tbsp flour and 2 Tbsp water until smooth, you don't want lumps. It should look like a paste. Drizzle a little of the flour mixture at a time while whisking into to sauce mixture until desired thickness is reached. I like it to be like a thick gravy.
- Serve the sauce over steamed rice with desired toppings from the list below. Serves 4-6.
