Things You'll Need:
- 1 Tablespoon butter;
- 1 onion (diced);
- 1 celery stalk (chopped);
- 1 cup chicken broth;
- 3 boneless & skinless chicken breasts;
- 1 Tablespoon cornstarch;
- 1/2 cup milk;
- salt & pepper, to taste;
- 6 sandwich buns.
-
Step 1
On a stove-top in a medium skillet, melt butter in a saucepan. Use medium heat. When butter has melted, sauté onion, celery and 1 Tablespoon of chicken broth (about 5 minutes, until tender).
-
Step 2
Add chicken and remaining broth, heat to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until chicken is tender and no longer pink (time depends upon thickness of chicken; don't overcook).
-
Step 3
Remove chicken from the vegetable mixture and set aside on a plate or cutting board. Let cool. Chicken must be cool to the touch, so it can be handled.
-
Step 4
While chicken is cooling, in a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and milk. Set aside.
-
Step 5
Shred chicken into small bite sized pieces, either by hand (if cool), or with two forks (if still warm).
-
Step 6
Place chicken back into vegetable mixture on stove-top. Slowly add (and stir) in the milk and cornstarch mix. Bring to simmer and stir until chicken mixture is thickened but still most (about 6-7 minutes). Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve by spooning mixture onto sandwich buns (toasted or not).
