Notes
Quite a few cheats here.
I used the breasts of a store bought roaster, and used low sodium chicken stock.
Whilst this can be served as a stand alone, one can add a cup of thawed, frozen veggies, for a chicken stew.
I really hate using the sodium bombs that canned soups are, and will try to create my own to us in other dishes. This in specific will be thickened with additional roux and used as a binder in a chicken noodle casserole.
I'd not add all the stock at once, but reserve some to adjust the thickness and texture, if I was using this as a binder for a larger dish, (Think chicken noodle casserole, or stew for a pot pie).
