Directions

  1. Mix milk and chicken broth together in a bowl.

  2. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until a thick, creamy paste forms. Whisk in milk mixture until sauce is thick and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Recipe Note

This is a great recipe to use with leftover chicken. I've made this with plain bread crumbs but cornbread stuffing has become my children's favorite! Serve with chicken gravy.
