Notes
- Butter: I like to use salted butter in this recipe. You can use unsalted if you prefer.
- All-purpose flour: You can use cornstarch in place of the flour. You may need to use more cornstarch to reach the desired thickness.
- Milk: Any milk, from skim to whole milk, will work. Nondairy milk, like almond milk, can also be used.
- Chicken broth: Chicken stock will also work. I like to used reduced-sodium chicken broth so that I can salt to my liking.
- Seasonings: You can add poultry seasoning or other herbs to make cream of chicken with herbs.
