Chicken and Gravy

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add in the butter and olive oil.

Step 2

While the pan is heating, dice your onions, mince the garlic, and split each chicken breast in half to make them thinner.

Step 3

Season the chicken liberally with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. (I used about 1/2 teaspoon of each) Set the chicken aside.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour into the pan and whisk until you see no more dry flour spots. cook while whisking for about 1 minute.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and 1/4 teaspoon each of: salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, and paprika.

Step 7

Bring everything up to a bubble (it should start to thicken) then add in the seasoned chicken.

Step 8

Lower the heat to medium-low and allow the chicken to simmer (slow smaller bubbles) for about 15 minutes or until cooked throughout.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Serve over mashed potatoes or biscuits and enjoy!
