"Creamed Chicken served over toast or biscuits is my go-to substitute when I'm hungry for chicken pot pie. My version is perhaps not as creamy as you'd usually expect for creamed chicken, but it's still very flavorful with much less fat. Of course, upping the creaminess would be simple by using heavy cream for the milk or even for part of the broth."

Very nice way to use up left over roast chicken. We enjoyed it but next time i make it i will add more seasoning, perhaps oregano or basil, we did find it a little bland. I made it exactly as written and served it over whole wheat toast.
