Chicken and Gravy
Servings 6 people
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken breast
- Salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, oregano (see below for measurements)

- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ⅓ cup diced onion
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- 3 cups chicken broth
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add in the butter and olive oil.
- While the pan is heating, dice your onions, mince the garlic, and split each chicken breast in half to make them thinner.
- Season the chicken liberally with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. (I used about ½ teaspoon of each) Set the chicken aside.
- Once the butter in the pan has melted, add in the onions and minced garlic. Allow to cook for about 5 minutes or until softened.
- Sprinkle the flour into the pan and whisk until you see no more dry flour spots. cook while whisking for about 1 minute.
- Pour in the chicken broth and ¼ teaspoon each of: salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and paprika.
- Bring everything up to a bubble (it should start to thicken) then add in the seasoned chicken.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and allow the chicken to simmer (slow smaller bubbles) for about 15 minutes or until cooked throughout.
- Use tongs to remove the cooked chicken from the gravy. Add it to a bowl or plate and shred the meat then add it back into the gravy.
- Serve over mashed potatoes or biscuits and enjoy!
