I got this recipe from a friend, and my whole family loves it – not to mention how easy it is to make! Note: If you wish, you can just boil 4 or 5 boneless chicken breasts instead of using a whole chicken.
I had a similar recipe years ago but it never “turned out.” This one definitely did! Enjoyed every bite. Made it the night before refrigerated overnight and put it in the oven when I came home from work – PERFECT!

1 small onion, chopped
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1 stalk celery, diced
2 C. chicken broth
2 T. melted butter
1/4 tsp. salt
How to make:
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and pour into a 9 x 13, lightly greased casserole dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes or until set.
Gravy:
1/2 C. unsalted butter
1/2 C. all-purpose flour
1-quart chicken stock

How to make Gravy :
