Creamy chicken casserole
I had some boiled chicken in the fridge which I had saved to make a sandwich filling.
I had been putting it off quite a while , but I am not in favour of keeping food in the fridge for more than two or three days
I thought of baking it. So I made a creamy roux with butter, corn flour and threw in some herbs and poured it over the chicken breast and grated
a generous amount of cheese over it, sprinkled some breadcrumbs and a dash of herbs,and seasoning , popped it in the oven and baked it for 20 minutes in a preheated oven at 180 degrees.
Dinner that night was enjoyed with everyone contributing their ideas to make It better.
I found it very delicious and decided to work on improving it. After a few trials I am now sharing my version of the creamy chicken casserole.
