Ingredients
- 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves – cut into bite-size pieces
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can chicken broth
Instructions
- Place chicken in a bowl, and season with salt, pepper and garlic. Sprinkle the flour over the chicken pieces and toss to coat.
- Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Shake the excess flour off of the chicken, and reserve in the bowl. Place the chicken in the hot pan, and brown on all sides. Remove from the pan, and keep warm.
- Whisk some of the chicken broth into the flour in the bowl until smooth. Stir this into the drippings in the skillet, then stir in the remaining broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, and return the chicken pieces to the skillet. Simmer over medium heat until the chicken is cooked through, and the sauce has thickened. Taste, and season with additional salt and pepper if desired.

I cut this recipe in half to serve just 2 people. ( myself and my husband). I used this recipe as a base. I added spices and seasonings that we like to the chicken prior to cooking in the pan. The method for cooking and making the gravy was the same. We absolutely loved this one. The chicken came out tasty and moist. Thanks for sharing this recipe. It is a great way to use up some boneless chicken breasts.
Sorry, made as written it was rather tasteless.
used 3 breast and it was plenty,added 1 can of cream of chicken soup for more sauce. tried with can of cream of onion soup instead of cream of chicken and it was much better flavor
Made this cajun style but with cut up boneless, skinless chicken thighs. I used my home blend cajun seasoning in the dustiing flour, and browned off the chicken well. Added a touch of Olive oil and the flour and cooked the flour to get rid of the raw taste. I added celery, onion and red bell pepper, sauteed for a few minutes then added the broth and stirred till the gravy came together. Added back the chicken and covered and cooked till done . Checked for cajun seasoning and served with rice and green salad.
Think of this as easy to make chicken and gravy. I wouldn’t have it every week, but I’ll be making it again. We ate it with mashed potatoes, and I took the leftovers for lunch the next day. It’s a good recipe for to use to get rid of those boneless skinless chicken breasts that you got on sale at the supermarket and are taking up space in your fridge.
This a great “base” dish that just begs for creativity. I added poultry seasoning and tarragon to the spices and sautéed mushrooms and onions with the chicken. Served over rice and it was delicious! Family is already wanting to know when the leftovers are going to be served!
i wish i could give this recipe a 4.5. i enjoyed the flavor along with my family. the only tweak i made was adding more garlic than the recipe called for. i also decided to add carrots, bell peppers,and mushrooms. yum!
I really took this recipe and ran with it! I basically followed the steps, but then added pasta (I used elbow macaroni, but any bite size kind would probably work), bacon, and broccoli for a well-rounded dish. It came out great!
Quick, easy, good! I served it over Chef John’s buttermilk biscuits from this site.
May not be anything extraordinary, but a wonderful, inexpensive, family meal. We serve it over mashed sweet potatoes.
Very yummy and pretty quick.
This was amazing!!!!!! Will make over and over again!
This is a very easy recipe and great to go to when you need something fast. Thank you so much for the recipe!
This was soo good. It doesn’t look beautiful but it is delicious. I ate it with noodles and I loved it. I’m sure it is great with stuffing or mashed potatoes too. My gravy turned out a little lumpy so I probably did something wrong but it still tasted great. I will make this again for sure!
Very Easy and good! I used EVOO and a little more broth and flour as I like a lot of gravy. It was a little bland so I also added about 1/2 a jar of store bought alfredo sauce. Holy cow did that make a wonderful difference. Served over instant mashed potatoes. I’m sure I’ll make again when I’m crunched for time.
I did not care for this recipe. There was not a lot of flavor. However, my husband loved it and finished the leftovers the same night. I paired it with white rice.
i made this today for dinner on 2/9/11 and well considering i have a horrible cold and was sick of making chicken noodle soup i gave this a try and it was really good i had to add a lil more garlic to it to my taste and added onion powder to it and no salt seasoning they sell in the dollar store for a buck…and i would recommend making a roux of flour water paste then adding to thicken just don’t go over board with the flour water paste or it will taste more like flour so i just added a bit more broth with butter added to the broth while was heating up and go easy on the salt cause the broth has enough salt in it. a very good starter recipe i served it with instant mash potatoes and green beans.
Really super easy to make! The fam loves it over mashed potatoes. The only thing that I do differently is I add some chicken soup base (1 tsp) in with the flour when making the gravy. I have made this a few times now and it is always delish:)
My husband and I both agree this would be a great pot pie base. As a dinner it is alright,lacking in flavor but the chicken was very moist. I will make again but with some tweeking.
This is great! Like John I added peas, carrots, onions, and celery and more gravy. But then I put it in a casserole dish and baked a can of biscuits on the top for an easy and delicious pot pie!
Great and easy. Even the 5 year old loved it! Served with mashed potatoes and green beans. Yum!
