- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Parsley (optional, fresh or dried)
Directions
Step 1
Melt the butter in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Step 2
Whisk in the flour to form a roux, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste. Be careful not to let it brown.
Step 3
Gradually whisk in the milk and broth, a little at a time, to create a smooth sauce.
Step 4
Continue to cook the sauce, stirring frequently, until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 5
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Step 6
Add the cooked chicken or turkey to the sauce and stir well to combine. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the meat is warmed through.
Step 7
If desired, stir in freshly chopped or dried parsley for added flavor and garnish.
