I didn't like how much sodium was in the canned stuff and also the ingredient list is Looooooong and full of mystery ingredients that I don't really care to eat. I never even thought about what was in it until I started trying to cut certain chemicals out of our diet. So with that said, I was thrilled to see a home made version. I tried it today and It was AMAZING! Very VERY simple, and only took a total time of 15minutes to make. I added it to my cheesy crock pot chicken and rice and it tasted much better than the canned stuff, and it also made it more creamy, which I liked.
So here is the recipe I used. It's not my own recipe, and I can't remember the website I got it from, but I didn't change much. I made my own seasoning mix to add to it and the recipe for that is at the bottom. This makes enough to equal about 2 small cans of cream of chicken.
Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 2½ cups chicken broth
- 1½ cups 2% milk
- ¾ cup white all purpose flour
- seasoning mix(recipe below)
Direction
Combine the chicken broth and ½ cup of the milk in a saucepan.
Bring to a low boil.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk the flour and seasonings into the remaining 1 cup milk until a smooth, thick mixture forms.
Pour the flour and milk mixture into the saucepan with the broth mixture over low heat and stir continuously, whisking as the mixture simmers. Continue to simmer and stir/whisk until the mixture is smooth and thick.The mixture will thicken a bit as it cools.
That's it! Easy huh? It tastes great and you can add different seasonings for different flavors. I will be doing a cream of mushroom soup soon! Not sure if this will freeze or not, but it wouldn't hurt to try. I will post my recipe for cheesy crockpot chicken and rice next!
Seasoning mix recipe:
2 Tsp onion powder, 1/4 Tsp garlic powder, 1/4tsp black pepper, 2 Tsp sea salt, 1/2 Tsp oregano. This equals 1 "packet" of seasoning to add to the cream of chicken. If you make this in bulk add 2 tablespoons of it to the cream of chicken.
