Description

A delightful dish featuring crispy chicken with a rich, velvety gravy, perfect for family dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, butterflied
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, pepper, and garlic powder for seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for gravy)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ teaspoon salt (for gravy)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper (for gravy)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (for gravy)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions

  1. Butterfly cut the chicken breasts and season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine 1 cup of flour with additional salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour mixture, coating both sides well.
  4. Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Remove cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  6. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and 2 tablespoons of flour and stir continuously for about 1 minute.
  7. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and then heavy cream, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  8. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and onion powder to the gravy, stirring until smooth and creamy (about 2-3 minutes).
  9. Return chicken to the skillet or pour gravy over chicken and serve immediately over mashed potatoes or rice.

Notes

For extra crispiness, double-dip the chicken in the flour mixture. Use skinless chicken breasts for a healthier option.
