Ingredients

3 tablespoon Butter or margarine
6 tablespoon Flour
1 1/2 cup Milk
1 1/2 cup Chicken broth or stock
3/4 teaspoon Salt
1/8 teaspoon Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Ground savory
2 cup Cooked chicken

Directions

1
Melt the butter in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
2
Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 to 2 minutes to form a light roux (do not let it brown).
3
Gradually whisk in the milk and chicken broth to prevent lumps, ensuring the mixture is smooth.
4
Stir in the salt, pepper, and ground savory.
5
Continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 to 7 minutes.
6
Add the cooked chicken pieces to the sauce.
7
Gently stir to coat the chicken evenly and heat through for 2 to 3 minutes.
8
Serve immediately over toasted waffles, biscuits, or mashed potatoes.
