Old Fashioned Creamed Chicken Recipe
Hot creamy shredded chicken that can be served over noodles, biscuits, toast, rice or whatever is your favorite. I used noodles and tossed it all together then served. What a simple, quick and delicious meal that is a big hit at our house.
Shred cooked chicken, I used rotisserie chicken.
Cook the noodles.
Drain the noodles and set aside.
Over medium heat, melt the butter in a large saucepan.
While the butter melts, combine the flour and seasonings in a small bowl. Once the butter melts, immediately add the flour and seasonings, whisking constantly.
It will turn a light brown quickly so don’t stop whisking. Remove from the heat immediately.
Add a seasoned chicken stock, whisking until smooth. I added a southern spicy seasoning to my chicken stock, but you can use whatever is your favorite seasoning. My spicy seasoning had salt in it, so I left the salt out from the recipe card.
Add the heavy cream and whisk to combine with no lumps left.
Turn the burner to medium heat and put the saucepan back on the burner. Add the shredded chicken and gently stir constantly until thick and hot. Serve over noodles, biscuits, rice, toast or your favorite. I tossed my noodles with the creamy mixture.
Enjoy!

This looks good. My mother made something similar with a simple homemade pasta.
What do you think about this:
Recipe would work with a short pasta like Ziti or Trofie and a good melting cheese and you could have a creamy chicken mac and cheese. Also I like using condensed milk as it makes creamy pasta dishes really creamy.
Good idea Randy!
Spicy seasoning for me
That surprises me Derrick!
One of my favourite foods is hot curries
Oh my! I thought I liked hot, you may have me beat!
I love this over rice
That is so funny. I wanted to put it over rice but I had creamy wild rice soup for the next days menu. I will use rice next time.
ah –
I just made this! My daughter was sick last week and needed some comfort food! This is her favorite!
How funny and it definitely is comfort food. I hope your daughter is feeling better.
It does look quite vintage!
I remember my mom making this when I was growing up, that makes me vintage too.🤣 Thank you Dorothy.
This looks like good, down-home comfort food! 🙂
Thank you Nancy!
That warm meal looks delicious Diane – I like creamy chicken dishes like that and it’s kind of chilly in here right now so it looks all the better and tastier – where is that darn heat that I turned on again this morning anyway?
Thanks Linda! I still have the A/C on. Haha
You’re welcome! I cranked the heat up to 73 as 72 was too chilly and now I am hot but A/C likely will be on by Wednesday when we get to 80.
That looks so comforting, Diane! 😋
It is a dish that is so versatile yet delicious. Thank you AB!
Oh, this sounds so good–and better than using canned cream of chicken soup.
Thank you Linda! It really is delicious and so versatile. Pair it with noodles, rice, toast or biscuits.
I lke that this has real butter – mmm and looks good
Real butter is all I use for everything, it adds so much flavor. Thank you Yvette!
Oh my, what an easy recipe and it looks delicious too! It’s one of those dishes you make when your husband says: ‘I wonder what we can eat tonight’ and you reply: ‘Don’t worry Darling, I’ve got it covered, and it will be ready before you know it’ 😁.
Funny lady! I love it because of all the things you can put with it, toast-pasta-rice-biscuits etc. It’s almost like completely different meals with a happy darling!
Looks delicious !
Thank you!
This sounds yummy! I’ll definitely give it a try when we get back home.
It really was delicious Linda and it makes plenty of sauce. Thank you!
