Ingredients

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 2 cups self-rising flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup

  4. Mix the reserved chicken stock, cream of chicken soup, and bouillon cubes together in a large bowl.
  5. Pour the melted butter into a 9x13-inch casserole dish and place the shredded chicken evenly on top. Season with salt, pepper, and dried parsley.
