Ingredients
  

  • - 1 lb chicken breasts halved lengthwise
  • - Salt pepper, garlic powder (to taste)
  • - 3 tbsp butter
  • - 3 tbsp flour
  • - 2 cups chicken broth
  • - 1/2 tsp salt
  • - 1/2 tsp pepper
  • - 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • - 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • - 1 tsp paprika
  • - 1 tsp onion powder
  • - 1 tsp garlic powder

Equipment

  • - Skillet
  • - Cooking thermometer
  • - Mixing spoon

Method
 

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter. Once melted, add flour and stir continuously until well combined. Cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly.
  3. Add chicken broth and stir well. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Stir until bubbling, then add the chicken to the skillet.
  4. Ensure chicken is covered in the gravy, cover with a lid, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 12-15 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. If chicken is thin, it may cook faster.
  5. Shred the chicken and serve over mashed potatoes. Enjoy!

Notes

Adjust seasoning according to personal preference. Ensure chicken is cooked through before serving.
