50'S STYLE CREAMED CHICKEN



50's Style Creamed Chicken image

Got this from A Man, A Can, A Plan cookbook. Super easy. We generally add more onions (have used as much as 2 cups) and caramelize them because we love onions and feel like it gives the dish more flavor that way. We also add extra seasonings as cream of mushroom soup is a little bland for us. My favorite is garlic and italian seasoning added while cooking the onion.
