Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 boneless chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
- 1/4 tsp black pepper or to taste
Instructions
- Warm a skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook each side until golden brown, about 5 to 6 minutes per side. Remove the chicken and set aside.
- Add butter to the same pan. Once melted, whisk in flour until it forms a smooth paste. Let it cook for 1 minute while stirring constantly.
- Slowly pour in the chicken broth and milk while whisking to prevent lumps. Stir until thick and creamy.
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Return the chicken to the pan and simmer for 5 minutes until the gravy coats the chicken beautifully.
Notes
To avoid lumps in the gravy, whisk continuously while slowly adding liquid. Serve over mashed potatoes or rice for a complete meal.
