Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

1 lb chicken breasts
Salt, pepper, garlic powder (to taste, for seasoning chicken)
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 tsp each salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme
1 tsp each paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder

Equipment

Stove for cooking
Skillet with lid for simmering chicken and gravy

Method

Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make them thinner. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt 3 tbsp butter. Stir in 3 tbsp flour and cook for a few minutes while stirring continuously.
Add 2 cups chicken broth, stirring well. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir until bubbling.
Add chicken to the skillet, ensuring it’s covered in gravy. Cover with a lid, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 12–15 minutes or until chicken reaches 165°F.
Shred the chicken and serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side.

Notes

For best results, slice chicken breasts evenly so they cook through at the same time. This dish is great served over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
