The past week it has felt like winter here in Iowa. I’ve been trying to convience myself that with the cold and snow arriving extra early this year, that spring will arrive equally as early. This may be a failing tactic I’m using to try and trick my mind into accepting the 0 degree temps. Brrr.

One way to warm up on these chilly days are cooking up a warm comforting dish. This creamed chicken recipe is just that! Serve over the 7 Up Biscuits I posted about last week and you have a delicious and easy to serve meal on these cold evenings.

Be sure to try these other comforting dishes as well:

Hamburger and Noodles

Chicken and Noodles

Chicken and Dumplings

Beef and Noodles
