Notes

Feel free to use leftover chicken or turkey for this recipe. It doesn't matter if you use a whole chicken or simply cook a few chicken breasts. Any kind of cooked chicken will do.
If you like very thick gravy, cut back on the amount of broth or cream. Add more spices to the gravy as desired.
