1 1/2 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 cup low fat milk, cream, or half and half
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
garlic powder -- to taste

Place chicken in an ovenproof dish and add 1/2 cup chicken broth. Bake at

Reserve chicken broth and cut breasts across the grain into medium-size
slices. Let cool. In a saucepan, melt butter, add flour and stir. With a
whisk, add milk, cream or half and half. Stir in one cup of chicken broth
and then add reserved broth from cooked chicken. Add Parmesan cheese, garlic
