Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts in a medium pot and cover them with the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked and juices run clear.

Step 2

Remove the chicken from the broth and set aside to cool slightly. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of the cooking broth for the sauce.

Step 3

Shred the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks.

Step 4

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes or until softened.

Step 5

Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour evenly over the onion and garlic mixture, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 7

Gradually whisk in the reserved chicken broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Then, whisk in the heavy cream. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 8

Add the shredded chicken back into the saucepan and stir to coat it in the creamy sauce.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot. Enjoy!
