This skillet chicken with onion gravy has a comforting homemade taste and feel. It’s quick to make, but it tastes like it’s been cooking all day!
Tip: This needs to be served with mashed potatoes and a green veggie (in my opinion)!
Skillet Chicken with Onion Gravy Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 chicken breasts, sliced in half horizontally to make 6 thinner cutlets
- salt and pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1/3 cup diced onions
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups chicken broth (or more as needed)
Directions
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
- In a skillet over medium/medium-high heat, add the olive oil.
- Add the chicken to the pan and allow to brown until golden on both sides (about 4 minutes per side). Transfer the chicken to a plate (it's okay if it's not completely cooked through; it will continue cooking in the pan later).
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the butter and allow to melt. Add the diced onions and cook, while stirring, until the onions soften, about 4 minutes.
- Sprinkle in the flour and cook, while stirring, until the flour turns a golden brown, about 1 minute.
- Slowly add in the broth, while stirring, and continue stirring until well combined and thickened (make sure to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan).
- Add the chicken back to the pan and continue to gently cook until the gravy has thickened slightly and the chicken cooks all the way through.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed with salt and pepper.
- Serve with mashed potatoes and a green veggie!
