How to Make Baked Chicken And Gravy

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Coat 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total) with 1/2 cup all-purpose flour seasoned with salt and pepper.
  3. Melt 1/4 cup butter in a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  4. Place the floured chicken breasts in the prepared baking pan.
  5. Bake for 40 minutes, turning halfway through, until chicken is almost cooked through.
  6. Remove pan from oven and reduce oven temperature to 325°F (160°C).
  7. Carefully spoon off excess fat from the baking pan.
  8. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups milk, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon paprika until smooth.
  9. Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup chicken broth until well combined.
  10. Pour the gravy mixture evenly over the chicken in the baking pan.
  11. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the gravy is bubbly and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
