I love creating recipes that have a variety of components, but go together quickly, like my Stuffed Chicken Breast with Stuffing or my Asparagus Stuffed Chicken Breast. Another family favorite is my Homemade Chicken Strips.
I love finding classic recipes in cookbooks. I’m still old school and at times, I would rather go through a cookbook then look on the internet for a recipe. Growing up our cookbooks rarely had photos as many where cookbooks made by home cooks. Don’t get me wrong, the internet is fantastic for finding recipes; especially with all of the photos, however, sometimes it’s fun to pull out a cookbook and discover new recipes.
This recipe is an adaptation from a recipe I found for Creamed Chicken in Biscuit Bowls in the Southern Living Party Cookbook. If you love Southern Living magazines and cookbooks, then definitely pick this one up!

If I missed something I don’t know but what do you do with the butter
THANK YOU for catching that! I use that when I am cooking the chicken instead of the olive oil. I will update the recipe.
Can this be made in a slow cooker?
Honestly, I haven’t tried it. I will though soon, and I will let you know.
Sorry Rhonda, I really wanted to love this —- even the pic looked yummy. The taste was very strong& the cheese ruined it. A good way to waste good chicken breast.
Thanks for trying it. I’m sorry that you didn’t enjoy it.
