Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream or milk
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
- Cooked rice, mashed potatoes, or biscuits for serving
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Sear in a large skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat for 4-5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
- Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the same skillet, sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Sprinkle flour over the sautéed vegetables, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Gradually add chicken broth, stirring continuously until smooth.
- Return chicken to the skillet, pour in heavy cream or milk, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked and gravy thickens.
- Serve over mashed potatoes, biscuits, or rice. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
- Ensure chicken is cooked through for maximum juiciness.
- Adjust gravy thickness with more flour or cream as needed.
- For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth.
- Add sautéed mushrooms or herbs for extra flavor.
