5 mins prepServes 5
Smothered Chicken with Onion Gravy is a easy Southern style comfort dish made with tender, pan seared chicken simmered in a rich, homemade, savory onion gravy.
0 In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add in the olive oil. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt & black pepper. Sear the chicken breasts on each side for 3-4 minutes on each side then remove from the skillet. Reduce the heat to low.
1 Add in the butter and allow it to melt, then add in the diced onions and bell peppers. Allow the veggies to cook down for 2-3 minutes. Add in the all-purpose flour and stir together to form a roux. Allow the roux to cook on low for 2-3 minutes while constantly stirring. Add in the chicken broth and chicken bouillon powder then stir to combine until no clumps are present in the mixture. Turn the heat to medium and stir occasionally as it starts to thicken. Add the chicken breasts back to the skillet and allow the mixture to simmer for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked.
2 Remove the chicken from the skillet and shred it using two forks. Place the shredded chicken back into the skillet and stir to combine with the gravy. Serve & enjoy!
