Old-fashioned creamed chicken

I recently got Paula Deen’s Southern Cooking Bible and I am obsessed with it!

It has SO many fabulous recipes and I am on a mission to make them all!

I liked the sound of this one made with egg noodles and creamy chicken and it was delicous.

You will need:

1 Tbsp butter

1 Tbsp flour

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup half and half

1 Tbsp dry sherry

2 cups chopped cooked chicken breast

1/2 tsp dried thyme

salt and pepper

1-2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley or scallions, for garnish

egg noodles

To Make:

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until bubbling, about 1 minute.

*If you are making egg noodles with it,

then I would begin boiling the water and cooking them now*

Whisk in the broth, half and half, and sherry.

Bring to a boil, whisking frequently.

Reduce to a simmer and cook, stirring, until nice and thick,

3-5 minutes.

Stir in the chicken, the thyme, and salt and pepper to taste, and warm through.

Serve garnished with parsley or scallions.

I served mine up with egg noodles and I love the flavor it gave.

You can also serve the chicken with biscuits, corn bread, or rice.
