Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup butter

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  3. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  5. In the same skillet, add the flour to the remaining butter and drippings, stirring constantly for about 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
  6. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and milk, continuing to stir to avoid lumps.
  7. Bring the gravy to a gentle simmer, cooking for 3-5 minutes until thickened.
  8. Add the chicken back to the skillet, spooning the gravy over the top.
  9. Serve hot over rice, mashed potatoes, or biscuits.
