Ingredients

¼ cup (half of a stick) salted butter
1 stalk celery, diced
¼ cup diced onion
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup whole milk, half-and-half, or heavy cream
1 cup chicken broth
2 cups cooked diced or shredded chicken (or use leftover turkey)
Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
rice, toast, or mashed potatoes for serving
Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley or thyme

Instructions

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the celery and onion; cook until tender.
Add the flour to the skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
While whisking constantly, gradually stream in the chicken broth and cream. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture is smooth and thick.
Add the chicken and stir to combine. Cook over low heat, just until the chicken is warmed through.
Taste and season with salt and pepper.
Split the biscuits in half and spoon the creamed chicken over top. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired.
