This is an old favorite from my Grandmas church cookbook that I have turned into a gluten free, preservative free work of low carb deliciousness!
Chicken is so versatile, and casseroles are perfect for crisp weather🍂🍁

In a saucepan make the sauce. Add cream, chicken broth, 3 Tbsp butter, and seasonings to pan.
Bring to a boil then whisk in cream cheese and xanthan gum. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed since this is the main flavor of the dish. Set aside.
