Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 6 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the pan and cover to rest.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté chopped onions and minced garlic until translucent (about 3 minutes).
  3. Melt the butter in the skillet and whisk in flour until smooth; cook for 2 minutes until golden brown.
  4. Gradually pour in chicken broth while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Add thyme, adjusting seasoning as needed. Simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
  5. Slice the rested chicken and fold it into the gravy for an additional two minutes on low heat.
  6. Serve generously over mashed potatoes or rice.
