Recipe: Whistle Stop Cafe Creamed Chicken Over Biscuits

CREAMED CHICKEN OVER BISCUITS

1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup thinly sliced celery
1/4 cup self-rising flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash ground black pepper
Dash ground red pepper (cayenne)
2 cups diced cooked chicken
3 large baked biscuits or toast (for serving)

Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat; add celery. Cover and cook until tender.

Sprinkle flour over mixture and stir until smooth. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Gradually stir in milk until smooth; add salt, pepper, red pepper, and chicken. Cook, stirring constantly until thickened. (If the gravy is too thick for you, add a little water to thin it and simmer 1 minute.)

Serve over biscuits or toast.
