Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 pounds boneless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups cooked rice or noodles

Method
 

  1. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and let it melt completely.
  3. Sprinkle flour over the melted butter. Whisk constantly for about 2 minutes to create a roux.
  4. Gradually pour in chicken broth while whisking continuously. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Add garlic powder and onion powder. Stir well to combine and let the gravy simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens.
  6. Pour in heavy cream and stir thoroughly. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and let everything simmer together for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  8. Serve immediately over hot rice or noodles.

Notes

This recipe is versatile; you can substitute chicken thighs for breasts, use dairy alternatives, or add vegetables for nutrition. Store leftovers separately from rice or noodles to prevent mushiness.
