Ingredients for Baked Chicken In Herbed Gravy

  • Unsalted Butter
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • Salt And Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary (or 2 tablespoons fresh, chopped herbs of your choice)
  • Chicken Stock
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

How to Make Baked Chicken In Herbed Gravy

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Season 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs) generously with salt and pepper. Add 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary (or your favorite herb!), or 2 tablespoons of fresh, chopped herbs.
  4. Brown the chicken breasts in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly golden.
  5. Pour 1 cup of hot chicken stock into the skillet.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
  7. Remove the skillet from the oven. Carefully pour the pan juices into a saucepan, reserving the chicken in the skillet.
  8. Bring the pan juices to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until the sauce has reduced to about 1/2 cup (about 5-7 minutes).
  9. Remove from heat and gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of sour cream until smooth and creamy.
  10. Pour the herbed gravy over the baked chicken breasts and serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
