Lighter Creamed Chicken & Cornbread is a recipe makeover from a woman who I work with at the art center. The original recipe called for 8 tablespoons of butter and heavy cream but we fixed that! With this recipe I got it down to 2 tablespoons of butter, 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and healthy alternatives to the heavy cream like Greek yogurt and buttermilk.
