Description
A straightforward recipe for tender chicken served with a rich, savory gravy.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken pieces (thighs or breasts)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Brown chicken on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Add onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Sprinkle flour over the onions and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
- Gradually whisk in chicken broth until smooth. Add thyme.
- Return chicken to the skillet. Bring the liquid to a simmer.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until the chicken is cooked through, about 20-25 minutes.
- Remove chicken. If the gravy is too thin, increase heat and simmer uncovered until it thickens to your liking.
- Serve chicken topped with gravy.
Notes
- For a thicker gravy, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir into the simmering gravy until thickened.
- You can use chicken breasts or bone-in pieces for this recipe.
