Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked shredded chicken

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute, whisking constantly to form a smooth paste.
  4. Gradually pour in milk and heavy cream, whisking to prevent lumps.
  5. Cook for 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Stir in grated Parmesan, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  7. Add shredded chicken and mix until fully coated in the creamy sauce.
  8. Let the mixture simmer gently for 3–4 minutes to heat through.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken works well for convenience.
  • Add sautéed mushrooms or spinach for extra flavor and texture.
  • Sprinkle in red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
  • Toast the buns lightly for added texture.
  • Store the filling separately from buns for up to 3 days.
  • Add a splash of milk when reheating to loosen the sauce.
  • Freezing is possible, though sauce texture may slightly change after thawing.
