Creamed Chicken

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup butter or oleo
• 1 1/2 cups of mushrooms (saute in butter)
• 2/3 cup of flour
• 1 tsp salt
• dash pepper
• 2 2/3 cup chicken broth
• 2 cups of heavy cream (can use half and half)
• shredded chicken

Directions

Make a roux with the butter and flour, salt and pepper. Let it brown just slightly. You want it to have a little color. Carefully add chicken broth and cream. Cook until thickened.
Add the shredded chicken. Taste for seasoning-adjust.
Serve over rice, mashed potatoes, biscuits or toast. Optional toppings are shredded cheese and green onions.

Note: I like to add one or two chicken bouillon cubes to give it a little extra chicken flavor.
